But, stepping to Hyphen Stone required pockets deeper than his. While he stretched the threads of his favorite jeans with hopes of becoming a contender, tragedy struck. Simultaneously, the girl of his dreams was uprooted from Dooley and moved to a far, far away place by the devil himself. She wants herself. And every man in her path will feel her wrath.

She promises not to break any, especially the one about not falling in love. But Laurence ‘Flocco’ Powell has other plans.
