Velvet Elvis

Sonny Cantone is having a really bad day. Hes broke. His girlfriend left him. He drinks more than he should and smokes a lot of pot. And now some lunatic stole his car. As an ex-con with little experience in anything other than criminal enterprises and bad decisions Sonnys job prospects are not looking good even in the middle of a blistering summer in the little Cape Cod tourist trap town he calls home. Worse still hes sleeping with a shady stripper that works as an informant for a dirty cop that hates him and has a penchant for extreme violence. So when Sonnys old partner-in-crime and stoner buddy Crash offers to bring him in on a caper to rob a velvet painting vendor that promises to yield some quick money he has to listen. But nothing has prepared Sonny for the vortex of mayhem and madness hes about to fall into. In a cloud of marijuana smoke he and Crash descend into the hot summer night on the run from an array of crazed characters populating the darkest and seediest corners of Cape Cod after dark. And now what seemed like an easy score turns instead into a surreal nightmare both horrific and darkly hilarious. Sonny just wants to get home but itll take all night-this night-a crazy night that just keeps getting crazier and one hell need to make right before things spiral so far out of control theyll never get out alive. Sonny Cantone is having a really bad day. Wait until he sees the next twenty-four hours.
