After his girlfriend introduces him to Paris Poe -- hitman for the Hobos-- he found himself caught up in a cesspool of drugs, robberies, murders, and organized crime.
Until he found himself in so deep...there was no way out.
After the Feds indict the Hobos for Racketeering, Thomas broke the code and found himself incarcerated with Poe, who is determined to silence him forever.
Like a frog in slowly boiling water, Thomas found himself in an ever-tightening vice-grip of death. Facing the probability of being murdered behind the walls, Thomas is forced to confront his shortcomings as a man and the irrefutable evidence for Christ.
Will the life of Thomas be saved?
