PAYBACK is the taut, fast moving story of a man's desperate journey to find peace of mind. A man who is the product of a family barely eking out a living in the country of Albania during World War II. A country that has just been invaded by the Italian army under the leadership of the Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini. His family has been forced to provide all of the wool yielded by their small flock of sheep to the Italian Army, receiving very little stipend in return. The uncertainty of war results in an increasing bitterness and hostility in this young man, who is beginning to display exceptional inner turmoil amongst his family. Ultimately, this young man's quest for a better life begins quite unexpectedly one day, when he seizes upon a dangerous opportunity. This opportunity propels him into a survival mode that results in a trail of desperation through Albania, Turkey, across the Atlantic, and finally to a small town in Maine. His troubled mind is briefly calmed when he meets and marries a young woman who bears him a son...a son soon abandoned and forgotten. Hate and vengeance emerge from the turn of events which lasts for decades and is finally complicated by a series of murders in the small town of Bridgeway, Maine.
