Falling Onto Cotton

Haunted by the murder of his fiancée, Chance McQueen-once a musician on the cusp of success but now a restaurateur-knows alcohol and toxic relationships are choices slowly killing his soul. Trying to balance the scales between guilt and redemption, Chance takes under his wing a fatherless teen and mentors him through the dramatic stutter steps of budding adulthood. Awkward, sweet, and soulful, 19-year-old Winnie is suspended in the inertia of waiting for life to begin. Navigating first love, parental loss, and trying to find purpose, Winnie knows he needs to grow up-while Chance is figuring out, he's not quite grown up enough. But when Chance's dying uncle taps him to run his crime family, everyone Chance cares about will be put in harm's way. Chance must use all of his street smarts and call upon Winnie's naïve courage to navigate this criminal empire built on murder.
