THE STORY
Pretzel Logic is a classic noir tale of good people making bad choices. Reminiscent of the books of Elmore Leonard, or perhaps the films of Tarentino or the Coen Brothers, this edgy, dark, fiendishly compelling tale is the story of Sy Blum and Larry “T-Rex” Tetelman, two 60-something, often shady businessmen who’ve had a good thing going for a long time. Their partnership in Golden Coins Vending has provided them a secure and comfortable lifestyle, but bad choices and the occasional twist of fate are about to turn their world on its head.
When an enigmatic hitman and part time magician pulls a strong arm job that leaves The Cleaner dead, Sy and Larry face a breakdown in trust that begins to unravel their lives and the lives of those around them. This clever ensemble piece introduces us to unforgettable characters who become entangled with a cache of embezzled money that gets stolen, lost, found, given away, and fought over. A series of events ensue that threaten to harm not just Sy and Larry, but their families, a single mother of two precocious boys who turns the occasional trick to get by, a couple of young cousins on a fast track to nowhere, and an almost honest detective. PRETZEL LOGIC is a tightly plotted story that twists and turns on itself like a pretzel.
