He enjoys his work until he’s almost killed, so he returns home to take the most boring job he can find.Zack’s homelife was never ideal, so he found solace with a friend, until that friend abruptly disappeared from his life. To compensate, Zack becomes the epitome of jockdom, eventually earning a scholarship to a prestigious Midwestern college. An unlucky tackle on the football field leaves him with a badly broken femur, putting an end to his hopes of one day going pro. Rather than brood on the unfairness of life, he and some fellow jocks create a band and, after graduation begin to tour the country, becoming wildly popular as The Broken Legs. He enjoys his career until writer’s block puts a halt to his songwriting. And then one day, a package from home reminds him of his lost friend, and “Lyin’ in the Green Grass,” the song that results from this eureka moment, leads to a resurgence of his music.The problem is the name he’s added to the song is Tommy Johnson, and it puts Tom into the crosshairs of a deadly adversary. All Tom knows is if he’s going to be miserable, so is Zack Jones, and he sets out to track down the illusive singer. What will happen when the two men finally meet after all these years? And what about the adversary who plans to make sure Tom Johnson winds up dead?
