Summaries

A socially-awkward but mechanically-gifted man becomes involved in a quirky, unconventional crime.

Malcolm is a chronically shy mechanical genius who has just been fired for building his own tram. He gets Frank, who has just been released from jail, to move in with him to help him pay the bills--and with Frank's influence, Malcolm turns to a life of crime.—Dougal Scott <[email protected]>
