  Summary

  While his degree in criminology is gathering dust in the attic, Andrew Minyard spends his time working at a liquor store in downtown Columbia. He's not exactly stuck, but he's stagnant. It's okay for now, but for the first time in a long while, Andrew is beginning to believe he's destined for more than this repetitive life of selling bottles he'd rather drink and communicate with people he doesn't like.

  Neil is fresh out of the witness protection program. The most dangerous people from his father's criminal organisation have either been put away for good or are dead, and the FBI just dumped him outside his new apartment with a fresh, this time legal, collection of papers and a new name: Neil Abram Josten. As he's trying to adjust to a life of not being on the run, he's also trying to figure out what he's missed. He's 25, has no college education, and has never been intentionally drunk.

  The last objective shouldn't be too hard to achieve. But he gets more than he bargained for when he enters the liquor store on the corner of his street.
