Opis

Detroit 1965 Based on true events, this is the heartrending story of Johnny Parker, a young heroin addict consumed with an intense fear of loneliness. The story begins when Johnny, racked with pain and overwhelmed by the crippling heat of detoxification, snatches the purse from an old lady who turns out to be the currier for small time mob boss, Giorgio de Angelo. With principles running high, Angelo refuses any reconciliation and puts a contract on him. Johnny goes on the run, fleeing with new found friend Freddy to the small harbor town of Trenton. The mob catches Freddy and takes him to an abandoned flat where they beat and torcher him to death. When Johnny discovers his body, he becomes highly emotive and promises to get those responsible, setting ablaze Angelo's yacht and outwitting his assassins. Along the way Johnny falls for a beautiful Eurasian girl who gives him sanctuary and brings out his tender side. Together they are drawn deeper into the criminal underworld of Detroit. With a large cast of colorful characters and D. E. Stewart's cutting edge drama, this story is a virtual Pandora's box of the bloodiest, most barbaric transgressions humankind has to offer. In this emotional rollercoaster ride of multi-dimensional impact, every page stretches ones imagination to the breaking point. Part 2 continues in the same vain, with his mentally disadvantaged brother, Charlie, defying death at every turn through the most hellish predicaments conceivable, taking you from the slums of Detroit to the CIA to the manmade abattoirs of evil.
