Running to Oblivion Baker Ross Baker

"I see her falling."
Reeling from his wife's suicide, Trevor Mackey, a prominent, but, unscrupulous Manhattan attorney, drives to Miami to reconnect with his brother, Foster, an ex-convict finding new life as the operator of a chic nightclub in South Beach. This reconciliation introduces him to May Marquez, the stepdaughter of Foster's boss, an exiled Colombian coke lord named Esteban. May asks Trevor to help her escape from Esteban's sordid control and he agrees to help her. Little does he realize that it will draw the interest of Dallas Bertram, a DEA agent who is investigating Foster's drug connections.
But, Bertram is nursing wounds of his own. Together, Trevor and Bertram forge an unlikely friendship, addressing their own sense of redemption and responsibility while attempting to save Foster and May from their perilous fates. Running to Oblivion plunges into the depths of a man in conflict, who is struggling to find his way. In the midst of his struggles, he examines the issues that confuse and define us: love, hate, God, purpose, and the nature of truth.
