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. On occasion 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, you know. But Mo can't take it anymore--his apartment, his choices, his life, any of it--he wants out. Only problem is, he can't die. And trust me, he's trying...
