Nothing can go wrong while listening to a voice in your head, right?
When Flynn’s life is saved with a whispered warning about a coming disaster, he decides he isn’t going crazy after all. More directives come along with hope—if he succeeds at his tasks, he’ll earn eternal salvation and be forgiven for a secret, dark deed he committed a while back. Along the way, he meets a beautiful and witty district attorney who wants to help him, but only if he’s amendable to a quid pro quo relationship. The voice even indicates a romantic future if Flynn plays his cards right, assuming he even makes it through this alive.
Meanwhile, a sick, twisted serial bank robber and his partner have their sights set on killing someone during their next heist. The bonus they’ll receive if they do is their only means to escape their pasts and buy their way out. One particular bank is ripe for the picking and the robbers target it, but so does Flynn—only his goal is securing a security guard job there. The DA also has interest in capturing these two lowlifes, which sets Flynn, the DA, and the desperate criminals on a collision course… and not even the prognosticating entity whispering in Flynn’s head knows how it will all turn out in the end.
