“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.
