THE STORY:

WILLIAM BLAKE is not your ordinary hit man. Gifted with psychic powers, he works for the London-based drug lord LEIGHTER DURANT. But when his hotheaded partner ZEPHYR RIALTO kills the brother of Durant’s rival MIKEY MUROE, breaking the fragile truce between Durant and Muroe and leaving both crime lords vulnerable to a takeover by a third rival drug lord, the enigmatic Buddha Jesus.

Durant gives Blake one chance to rectify Zephyr's mistake. Blake must assassinate an accountant working for Durant, who has been embezzling Durant’s money. The complication? The accountant is married to Blake's ex-girlfriend and Blake's daughter, MARY, lives with them. The other complication? If Blake refuses the job, Blake's girlfriend, GINNY, will pay the price with her life.

It's a race against time as Blake must find a way not only to save his daughter and her mother but also Ginny. That' s when a mysterious stranger appears revealing a darker more sinister secret – a secret that Blake's powers could never have forseen, because, as Blake knows, personal emotions always blind a psychic to the truth.

“Dogsbody” is a darkly comic and thoroughly thrilling journey that begins in the criminal underworld of Los Angeles and ends in the Arizona desert where the worlds of the living and the dead collide.
