KICKED IN THE HEAD

“A satirical love story.”

When Redmond finds himself out of home and job, his life becomes a series of unpredictable escapades - from dodging gunfire after his uncle makes him deliver a highly suspicious package to pursuing a moody stewardess he thinks has come to save him. Soon Redmond begins to suspect his road of mishap might actually be the path to the truth he has been seeking all along.
