Lay Your Armor Down an exceptional exploration of the existential malaise that drives us to find our paths in a cruel and indifferent world. Not to be missed.” -S.A. Cosby, bestselling author of All Sinners Bleed

An old woman, riddled with dementia, walks off into the woods in the middle of the night and stumbles upon a campfire. Two strange, dangerous men, one old and one young, are plotting a crime. They have a job to do and have only been told: you’ll know it when you see it.

And when they have their answer, it’s nothing they could have imagined. Now, the job feels dubious, one that’ll surely bring them to ruin but no step can be undone and nothing can be taken back.
