God Loves a Madman
A chaotic, sleep-deprived quest to right a murderous wrong.
Jakub “Pies” Jakubowski is released from prison after doing a five-year jolt for manslaughter. There’s only one simple goal in mind for the parolee now that he’s free, and that’s to apologize, face-to-face, to the mother of the woman he killed.
But Pies’s criminal associates have something else in mind for the newly sprung burglary expert. The Chicago Outfit demands that Pies help them swipe a well-protected, multi-million-dollar piece of sports memorabilia. The Outfit members strong-arm Pies into going along with their plan by threatening to kill the mother of his manslaughter victim.
Navigating a perilous pathway between shielding the woman and assisting the mobsters with their dangerous burglary scheme, Pies scrambles for a solution that could save the woman—and himself.
