uninterrupted supply of heroin and the unexpected stream of fellow prisoners seeking out his uncanny abilities to soothe and absolve His addiction started when his father committed suicide rather than be exposed as a corrupt cop, and now Sonny is the center of a vortex of corruption prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priest all of them focused on keeping him stoned and jailed, and all of
