All I could think of was prison. They would get the money too. 

I planned for everything, everything but a homeless kid.

Welcome to the worst day of my life.

Since 2008 I had seen dozens of colleagues discarded in the financial crisis as mega corp struggled to remain profitable. I would be next and I needed a Plan B.

But my Plan B was on the other side of the law.

I left life as a hard-working corporate project manager for a 3 year solo project. Then onto permanent vacation and the good life in the islands. After a rough start I was finally feeling confident.

Only 17 months left.

A homeless kid, corrupt cops, and rotten luck converge in Jackson, Mississippi.
