Full Description
Vincent is spiraling down the drain,
circling himself with no clue of what direction his life should take. He has
already abandoned the woman he loved and their newborn child he never met,
frightened of the responsibility of fatherhood. That's too much like growing up.
But now, with nothing in his life but a barfly drinking buddy named Gaby Rocket,
he's ready to finally fix himself and make things right. And that all starts
with a bank truck heist . . .
But for Vincent, it's not about
the money. He sees an opportunity to do something noble and good in the midst of
this crime: reunite the bank truck's driver with his estranged gay son, and even
secretly reward them both with half of the stolen money. Unfortunately, Gaby
isn't completely on board with that noble end goal, focusing more on the
treasure that could set them up for
life.
As can be expected, things don't
go as planned for anyone involved. Old ghosts and ingrained social mores pop out
of every corner to complicate matters, not only in the execution of Vincent's
grand Robin Hood plan, but in his and Gaby's lives as dyed-in-the-wool
loners.
A character-driven crime thriller
in the proud tradition of Martin Scorsese and the Coen Brothers, where the caper
itself is just the framework for an engaging and engrossing set of character
studies, written by award-winning author Wilfrid Lupano and illustrated by
DreamWorks animator Rodolphe Guenoden.
