He’s caught up in love, lies, murder, and espionage.

This story is a riveting, complex thriller that takes its readers on a journey like no other.

In a neighborhood simply known as the Badlands, two roughnecks, Eric and Kenny, seem destined for life behind bars, if not death. They somehow manage to manipulate Timothy Johnson, a.k.a. Trouble. Timothy, who’s typically a good kid with ambitions and dreams of someday getting out of the ghetto, sensing a void and a lack of acceptance from his peers, he partakes in a series of crimes that sends his life spiraling out of control: deceit, drugs, espionage, and murder are just the beginning of his story.

With the Italian Mafia now wanting him dead and the Russians desperately wanting what he has, plus the weight of the US government considering him to be the second most wanted man on the planet, Timothy finds himself at a point of no return.
