How do you hurt the toughest guy in the world? Maurice "Motor City Mo" Goldman has hit rock bottom. His glory days of being a top boxing prospect are behind him, now you'll most likely find him alone in his apartment throwing back whisky by the gallon or down at his favorite strip club, Clooney's. He earns money as an enforcer for Don Dozier (of Dollar Don's Discount Autowash--you've seen the commercials); breakin legs, crackin skulls, general intimidation. But Mo can't take it anymore--he wants out. Only problem is, he can't die. And trust me, he's trying...
Forty-eight hours ago Motor City Mo was settling into his normal routine, drinking himself numb while trying (and failing) to commit suicide. That was before he met Dora. Now, as tensions between Dollar Don and his rivals escalate, Mo finds himself distracted. His allegiance has been to Dollar Don for years, through thick and thin... But Dora is unlike anyone Mo's ever met before. For the first time in a long time, he's looking forward to tomorrow if it means another chance to see her.
