What We Reckon
Meet Jack Jordan. He’s a smooth-talking con artist with a penchant for the fast life. He’s snuck into Lufkin, Texas, in the dead of night with little more than a beat-up Honda, a hollowed-out King James Bible full of cocaine, and enough emotional baggage to sink a steam ship. He’s charming, dedicated and extremely paranoid.
Summer Ashton is his partner-in-crime. She’s stuck by him through thick and thin, but lately her mind has begun to slip. They’ve told their fair share of lies, and she’s having a devil of a time remembering what’s the truth. And recently, she’s been hearing voices. Unfortunately for both of them, she’s the brains of the operation.
Furthermore, they have begun to tire of one another.
For these two career grifters, the sleepy East Texas countryside is but another pit stop on their rampage across the American South.
Will it be their last?
In WHAT WE RECKON, Eryk Pruitt explores themes of identity, loyalty and purpose with psycho-delic, transgressive, chicken-fried twists that read like Trainspotting cut with a couple grams of "Helter Skelter."
