71-year-old John Ross, aka the Buffalo Kid, once a successful business and family man, Ross has been homeless for over thirty years after a bankruptcy left him penniless. His wife left him, taking his two newborns with her, and for three decades now, Ross, forgotten by family and friends, has endured the brutal winters of Buffalo, New York, living in a cardboard box under a bridge next to Lake Erie. On a cold blustery day, with pangs of hunger screaming at him, the Kid walks the streets and asks a stranger for money. The man hands him $50. Astonished at his generosity, the Kid follows him and soon finds himself engaged in the most bizarre collaboration and thriller – a 2nd chance at life, and a chance to help save the city that abandoned him, but which he still loves. $2.99 at Book-Blip www.book-blip.com
