A retired baseball player finds himself fighting for his life in this âfantastically hopped-up thriller [with] a wrong-man plot worthy of Hitchcockâ ( Entertainment Weekly , Editorâs Choice). âWow! Brutal, visceral, violent, edgy, and brilliant.ââHarlan Coben In development as a major motion picture starring Austin Butler and directed by Darren Aronofsky Henry âcall me Hankâ Thompson used to play California baseball. Now he tends to a bar on Manhattanâs Lower East Side. When two Russians in tracksuits beat Hank to a pulp, he gets the clue: someone wants something from him. He just doesnât know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesnât have it. Within twenty-for hours, Hank is running over rooftops, playing hide-and-seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor. All because of some Russian hoods and a flat-out freakshow of goons. All because once, in another life, the only thing Hank wanted to steal was third baseâwithout getting caught.
