Tony Cole knows that for the last ten years he's been caught in a downward spiral. Selling drugs was never a crime, but it was never meant to be his career. Now he's frustrated with his mundane daily routine and can no longer live with the constant threat of getting caught.

His only choice is to sink deeper into a sordid world in a desperate attempt to claw his way back out.
