SIX BAD THINGS picks up the adventures or misadventures of Henry 'Hank' Thompson, (first seen in CAUGHT STEALING) a man in hiding from people out to kill him. Hank has settled down in Mexico, living in a comfortable to him lifestyle. He's been laying low for three years without any problems until Mickey, a Russian tourist, starts asking questions about the person living there. When the two meet, Mickey tries blackmailing Hank into giving him half of the $4 million stolen from New York's Russian mafia, for the safety of Hank's parents. Hank kills Mickey in a moment of pure anger, pushing him off a mountainside, to make it look like an accident. As two Mexican federales start to investigate this accident, Hank decides it's time to head back to the States to make sure his parents are all right. With the help of Leo and Rolf, two professional smugglers, Hank gets caught in the middle of a blackmail scheme. It seems Leo was captured by the federales, and Rolf and Hank shoot it out with them. Hank dumps Rolf, and heads for the States using his wits to outsmart the bad guys and the police. Arriving in California, Hank gets caught up with several bad individuals trying to get his money. Meanwhile, Rolf is using Sid, a psychopathic teenager who idolizes Hank for being a hero, to keep Hank in his sights. When Hank shows up at his friend's house, the fun really begins. SIX BAD THINGS is a dark, compelling trip through the recesses of greed, corruption, drugs, and innocence. Hank is really just a guy who has had to resort to using violent methods in order to survive, first in New York, now in California and later in Las Vegas. Not as fast or rapid as CAUGHT STEALING, but with more depth to character, SIX BAD THINGS starts slow, but ends with a big bang.
