When Mushie, the popular street hustler of counterfeit watches, sneakers, and kitchen gadgets, comes into Duffy’s bar bleeding from a gunshot wound to the stomach, Duffy and the gang are baffled. Everyone loved Mush who didn’t have a mean bone in his body, Sure, he operated on the edges of what’s considered proper society but, hey, so did a lot of Duffy’s friends.

For Duffy, it’s different. Mush was Hymie’s, Duff’s father-like mentor, grandson, and Duff had promised to keep an eye out for him. Now, it meant righting Mushie’s wrong after his death.

Duffy’s journey takes him inside the slimy world of counterfeit sales and into the dark place that funds terrorism. Could it be that Mush drifted into something bigger than he could handle and was trying to attack it himself or was his execution meant to send a message?

International terror, anti-semitism, Christian extremism, and its workings, are all there for Duffy who just can’t mind his own business.

You see, he promised Hymie.
