Questions Hank doesn't want to deal with. And then the backpacker mentions the money...and Hank's parents. So Hank makes a fateful move...because no one threatens Hank's family. Now Thompson is on the run--dodging federales and Russian mobsters, sneaking past the U.S. Border Patrol, negotiating with nefarious businessmen, and trying desperately to avoid dying at the hands of two hell-bent surfer bums who fancy themselves his allies. The result is a full-throttle thriller, a cinematic adventure full of booze, bullets, loyalty, and love. |
