More DescriptionWhen Joe Stone walked out of prison after spending ten years behind bars for a murder he didn't commit he was an angry and disillusioned man. Exonerated by the Innocence Project, an organization that works to free the wrongly convicted through new DNA procedures, he is now a free man and pursued by the national media. Stone hides out and plans his revenge against those who wrongly convicted him and the wife who deserted him. The first things Stone wants are a gun and a real woman. Not the wannabes he had in prison. The handsome and charismatic Stone has no trouble in meeting women. He was a womanizer during his marriage. A marriage that produced a daughter. Both mother and five year old daughter disappeared once he was sentenced to death row in Huntsville, Texas. In need of money, Stone agrees to run an erron for fellow inmate, Nick Natalia, a dangerous and powerful gangster he met in prison. In doing so, he meets Natalia's girlfriend, Marisa Mathis, a beautiful and complicated woman that Stone immediately falls for. The valise that Stone delivers to the mysterious Marisa contains a large amount of heroin with a three million dollar street value. Marisa tries to discourage Stone, but they have a sordid relationship and Stone finds himself involved in practices he never thought himself capable of to please the masochistic Marisa. Stone finds a gun and plans to kill District Attorney Angela Norwood who was responsible for sending him to jail. But when Stone sees the attorney with her young twin sons he has a change of heart. When Stone is approached by Harland Powers, a powerful talent agent, Stone sees an ally. Powers convinces Stone that there are millions to be made from his story. Stone agrees, and asks Powers to help him find his daughter who is now fifteen years old.To Be Continued
