Vite difficili (1998)
Qualche volta la vita ti gioca un brutto tiro, ti pone davanti ad un bivio, mette un muro tra te e ciò che desideri. Per Socrates Fortlow la vita spesso si fa dura, ma niente può ostacolare un uomo con una missione. Socrates ce la farà, a modo suo e alle sue condizioni, e se non sei con lui sai cosa ti aspetta. Se sei un killer che terrorizza il vicinato, dovrai vedertela con lui. Se sei una bella donna che merita maggiori attenzioni, le riceverai. Se sei il testimone di un omicidio e hai bisogno di protezione, resterai vivo grazie a lui. Gli interrogativi della vita possono essere complicati, ma la risposta è semplice: quando arrivano i guai, cerca l'unico uomo che li sa affrontare. Perché il modo in cui combatte per la sua vita è il modo con il quale vorresti che combattesse anche per la tua.
