Synopsis
After a grueling night battling flames, all Chicago firefighter Valerie desires is a bottle of bubble bath, a hot soak, and an even hotter nap. But fate—and St. Patrick’s Day—have other plans.
When a heated domestic dispute erupts inside a gas station convenience store, Val finds herself trapped between a desperate wife, an unhinged husband, and a ticking clock. Exhausted and running on fumes, she’ll have to summon every ounce of strength and wit to defuse the situation—before bad luck turns deadly.
In this sharp, fast-paced suspense tale, Some Lucky Fool explores the fine line between heroism and self-preservation. Because in a city where luck is celebrated, not everyone gets a lucky break.
