Big city construction is a chance for subcontractors to take a stab at snatching the brass ring. Most times it’s a pin to a grenade that they seize, destroying everything they’ve built. Gone are the riches and glory of their dreams, leaving them to suffocate in failure and ashes.Skyscrapers and mega projects are mountains of steel and glass produced by a flock of subcontractors who are usually financially pushing the envelope. Without exception, each is ambitious, overflowing with guts and a belief destiny is their wingman.The lions of the industry are waiting for them. Falling prey to the cunning of the hunting pride, one by one they are separated from the herd and devoured.Al Cavello is a third generation New York City Union plumber who grew up listening to his father Buster and his friends’ telling stories about the contractors they worked for and the construction empires they built.A respected union plumbing foreman, Buster warns his son about the industry, but Al believes it doesn’t apply to him.Despite being a good plumber, Al is unprepared for the jungle he enters. Hurling down a road that’s bobby trapped, it’s trial by fire. Like most subcontractors before him, Al realizes survival is elusive and empires he grew up hearing about were built on foundations of sand, easily toppled by the pillaging titans of the industry. Learning there is an endless supply of new meat for the lions, Al understands he is about to be another meal. Now Al must either find a safe path out or a weakness of the hunter to exploit, keeping everything, he had built from being destroyed.
