Peter and Joey have spent their whole lives together-same streets, same bars, same bad decisions. When a chance encounter outside the Five Point leads to the heist of a lifetime, these two small-time criminals find themselves sitting on a storage locker full of pharmaceutical gold and more cash than they ever imagined.
But nothing comes easy. A dead accomplice leads the police straight to their door. Two gangsters with designs on their stash turn a routine evening into something neither of them will forget. And Detective Bukowski isn't the type to walk away empty-handed.
It's Joey's obsession that's the problem.
Convinced that enough heroin and a willing friend with a stopwatch can punch a hole straight through to the other side, Joey is determined to meet God. Or die trying. Literally.
Meeting God is a raw, darkly comic ride through the gutter and beyond-a story about friendship pushed to its absolute limit, the thin line between loyalty and madness, and two men who have always lived like they had nothing to lose, finally discovering they do.
Some men find God in a church. Joey's got a different plan.
