In the City of Angels, the Devil always gets his due. It is 1988 in Los Angeles. A decade of decadence is coming to a close, and Frank Bertram is trying to be a better man, despite the fact that he is a recovering cocaine addict and a hired gun for a drug cartel. All Frank wants to do is live a simple, drug-free life with his girlfriend, Rosie, with the hope that she never finds out about his murderous occupation or his previous family whom he abandoned. Arriving home one morning, Frank finds two men waiting to kill him. And it gets worse from there. Over the course of one unexpected hot day in October, Frank must out maneuver and out wit those that are trying to kill him. With the help of his killer mentor, Frank beats, stabs, and shoots answers from lowlifes and scumbags, all in the pursuit of answering one question: Why does his boss want Frank dead? Navigating his way through L.A. County, Frank puts the puzzle together slowly; piece by bloody piece, all the while trying to keep his loved ones safe. However, with every current action and decision Frank makes, his past indiscretions haunt him, hurting the incent along with the guilty. Mixing satire with blood and the downfall of the American dream, The Devil's Cut aims through the first person narrative scope to explore humanity's fall from grace and the glimmering hope of resurrection that love can bring to even the dimmest life. Frank Bertram is the anti-hero readers will hate to love as his tale of drug abuse, failure, redemption, and a whole lot of dead bodies unfolds.
