A Man of Lies

A Man of Lies begins with a hardened criminal insider whose life takes a drastic turn when his lover is killed by their mob boss. Determined to leave his underground lifestyle behind, he plans one final, intricate heist to free himself for good.

Barrett Rye has always been told he can be only one thing in life: an enforcer. He stands as a seven-foot wall of muscle and is the most effective collector in the largest criminal enterprise in the Midwest. Looking for a life beyond violence, he and his mob accountant boyfriend, Mickey, scheme to steal enough money from their boss to vanish and start anew. But their plan goes awry, resulting in Mickey's murder and Barrett being given one last chance to pay back his debts.

Barrett's plan is straightforward. He knows that Henry Holzmann, a small-time mafioso in Omaha, has the tip-off for an extraordinary heist. Barrett doesn't aim to claim the prize himself; instead, he just wants a share. He plans to unleash enough chaos to turn Holzmann's life upside down, compelling him to pay just to make it stop.

Yet, nothing is ever simple, and Barrett's cleverness may be his undoing. As the disorder he ignites spirals out of control, Barrett must utilize all his immense strength and cunning to survive. He faces a critical choice: Does he want to triumph at any cost, or become the better man he's always aspired to be?
