A story about life.

Johnny…
Shouldn’t be in a dead-end job.
Shouldn’t be in a dead-end bar.
Shouldn’t be in a dead-end life.
But he is.

It’s a hamster wheel existence. Stocking warehouse store shelves by day, drinking too much whiskey and beer by night. In between, Johnny lives in his childhood home, making sure his alcoholic mother hasn’t drunk herself to death, and looking after his idiosyncratic older brother Arty, whose world revolves around his laundromat job.
Rinse and repeat.

Then Johnny’s monotonous life takes a tumble. The laundromat where Arty works and the one thing that gives him happiness, is about to be sold. Johnny doesn’t want that to happen, so he takes measures into his own hands. Johnny, along with his friend, Goat, comes up with a plan to get the money to buy the laundromat.

But things don’t always go as planned…

Publishers Weekly—
Former Navy SEAL and children’s book author Willink (Way of the Warrior Kid series) marks his adult fiction debut with the downbeat and gripping story of a group of characters abandoned by the American Dream. … Arty is obsessed with clean clothes, and when the Laundromat where he works is slated to be sold, Johnny decides to buy the business in order to keep Arty employed. To come up with the $40,000 he needs, Johnny and his best friend, Goat, decide to rob the safe at their store, hand off the money to the owner, then hightail it to Mexico. …. Willink tells his story in quick blasts of haiku-like writing (Johnny on the customers at his workplace: “People: Flesh-covered robot beings in need of fuel and meaning./ They find both here”), with dialogue reminiscent of early David Mamet. Told with a gritty simplicity, this retains a hold on the reader right through to the inevitable tragic climax. “
