Tommy Darlington is one hot mess: a former Army Ranger who walks through life as a closet anxiety-depressive. He's also the largest distributor of pimp body parts in the good State of Florida. Sarasota's de facto hit man works for Tampa Bay's hidden hand, the secret billionaires, who conduct their dirty business well behind the black curtain, and who have no issue killing anyone, who gets in the way of their illegal business activities. Over time, Darlington discovers disturbing facts about his bosses, even well beyond his own Code of Deathics and sizable body count, and begins, to grow an itchy conscience. Now on a personal mission to clean up Tampa Bay, he encounters all that is evil and crooked, forever trying to bend it into a righteous path for good people to respect and follow. Still, you don't ever want to find yourself in Darlington's crosshairs or on the business end of his blade.
