Description: Marcus was an ex con, crime was his life. He grew up in poverty which led to him stealing, as well as his first arrest. As a teenager Marcus and the other kids his age turned to jacking cars and delivering them to a dealer who would scrap them and give them a share of the money. After being arrested again and seeing his mother nearly get beaten to death?

Marcus killed a man for the first time. He was caught after turning himself in on his mothers request, and served his prison sentence.

Jacob worked a good paying job, he's always had an easy life, for the most part. He had a wife and two kids.

When leaving work one night Jacob goes out partying with some colleagues...

And meets Marcus who's fresh off parole...

When a dead man turns up the next morning it turns both Marcus's new life and Jacob's perfect one upside down.

What will Marcus and Jacob, two very different men do, in order to keep their freedom? Was this all a setup? Or did they actually murder someone together?

More importantly, what will the wife have to say?

Year First Thought Of: 2018, and one I had been really looking forward to, but just ran out of...I guess 'juice' for it?
