Sweating in a hot cauldron of lawsuits, red tape, and Mafia threats is history professor Kevin Hastings.
The young, modestly successful professor stumbled across just the right investment property in downtown Chicago. And met just the right buyer for it, he thought.
But when you’re a little guy running with the big guys, you gotta be careful you don’t end up squished. Kevin’s real–estate lawyer gave him bum advice. His buyer turned out to be a mob boss. And his new attorney is a legal torture expert, putting everybody—including Kevin—through an all–but–medieval ordeal–at–law.
Booted out of his apartment and on the run, Kevin ends up at a rescue mission—another torment. There’s no way things could get worse...right?

Kevin Hastings is ready to stake out his piece of the good life. The last thing he has in mind is a spot under the Chicago River... courtesy of the local Mafia.
Pursuing a good real-estate investment, the young professor stumbles onto a prime chunk of property in downtown Chicago. It just has an old church building to be cleared away. But the dream deal turns into an ordeal when Kevin discovers he’s signed a contract with the Mob—one he can’t deliver on.
With death threats coming from the Mob boss and lawsuits piling up, the one bright spot is his new love interest, Tess...until he finds out she’s a rabid architectural preservationist.
What else can go wrong? Don’t ask. Kevin hires an attorney to untangle the mess, and the guy turns out to be a master of legal intimidation and dirty tricks. When he starts dispensing pain and chaos, Kevin has to run for his life. He ends up finding sanctuary at a local rescue mission.
The lawyers keep ringing the cash register while the bell tolls for Kevin—and he begins to wonder if there’s Somebody who can bring justice into all the torment...
