Opportunity Missed

After a pack of Kool cigarettes tucked in his shirt pocket saves Joseph Fender from a fatal gunshot wound, a local gangster and bar owner takes him under his wing. Dubbed the nickname "Kool", after the pack of cigarettes, Kool learns about every illegal fragment connected to the life of crime.

A seemingly fateful job brings Kool to a carnival, where he meets Lyndsy. The sparks fly immediately. To his overwhelming relief, she accepts his troubled past and current illegal actions. But that shooting incident ever haunts him; Kool is on borrowed time.

Filled with his love for Lyndsy and overflowing with philosophies of truth, Kool is faced with choice after choice that could change life as he knows it. If he chooses incorrectly, everything he holds close to his chest could come crashing down.
