- Summary:
- Pearce, an ex-con and Edinburgh hard man who' s still recovering from the recent loss of his mother, is invited by the dysfunctional Baxter family to protect their pregnant sixteen-year-old daughter from her martial-arts-expert husband, Wallace- a man ten years her senior with a penchant for killing family pets. Having found out that the baby' s not his, Wallace has sworn vengeance. Pearce declines the job: He' s no babysitter. But when Wallace kills Pearce' s dog, he goes too far. Now it' s personal. Revenge is part of the grieving process. But has Pearce finally met his match? Time to find out how many psychedelic drugs one man can take. Time to find out why Jesus is living in a cage in Wallace' s basement. Time to find out who the real hard man is.
