Bad luck comes in threes: 1 - You're dying… 2 - You're being framed for murder… 3 - Everything you ever believed is a lie… Half Italian, half Jew, all bulldog; Teo Borelli is at the top of his game. He's overcome horrific circumstances to build a successful business and a happy life with his loving fiancé. He is living the dream until a single word from his doctor shatters his world: "Terminal". His bright future gone, the pains of his past reawaken long dormant emotions – rage, hatred, loneliness, profound disappointment; all the result of his mother Eden's incomprehensibly selfish decision to end her life. With his time short, he embarks on a pilgrimage to reconcile Eden's decades-old self-immolation but along the way he uncovers a web of lies surrounding her death. A cadre of small-town yokels, whose intertwined lives obscure a sordid history, morph his simple quest for closure into a life and death struggle. Deceit, blackmail, sex and greed drive events that turn deadly in rapid-fire succession as Teo struggles to stay alive and out of jail long enough to find a sibling who shouldn't exist and a truth that's as elusive as his salvation.
