Synopsis

Meet Jack Jordan. Hes a smooth-talking con artist with a penchant for the fast life. Hes snuck into Lufkin, Texas, in the dead of night with little more than a beat-up Honda, a hollowed-out King James Bible full of cocaine, and enough emotional baggage to sink a steamship. Hes charming, dedicated, and extremely paranoid. Summer Ashton is his partner-in-crime. Shes stuck by him through thick and thin, but lately, her mind has begun to slip. Theyve told their fair share of lies, and shes having a devil of a time remembering whats the truth. And recently, shes been hearing voices. Unfortunately for both of them, shes the brains of the operation. Furthermore, they have begun to tire of one another.
