A collection of broken spies, former double agents, and retired operators lives in secrecy, under the watchful eye of the government in the small, deep-woods town of Cottonmouth, Texas.
Devlin Mahoney is the de facto mayor of these special citizens, charged with keeping them in seclusion, hidden from the world, which he does from the office of the town’s only motel.
But the peace of this sleepy village is shattered when a pair of women, on the run from a vicious criminal, drops into Mahoney’s lap and he’s forced to choose between doing what’s right and doing what he’s told.
Devlin Mahoney has retired to the tiny Texas town of Cottonmouth. Was it his choice? Not really. But he accepted the job of motel proprietor versus the alternative. Because Devlin Mahoney and several other of the good citizens have pasts they need to keep hidden. The only rule is: don’t bring attention to the town. Well, then they shouldn’t have brought Mahoney into the fold.
What a wild ride! This story reminds me of the movie Red. Sort of. It’s an excellent comedy thriller! Or would that be thriller comedy? Thrilledy? Anyway…Mahoney is quite the wise ass, but he’s a wise ass with a conscience. He may have to kind of live by the rules of the town, but he will not allow innocents to be harmed. And when Britte and Siobhan show up acting as if they are running from someone bad, Mahoney knows things are probably going to go to shit. Yep. He’s correct.
