Goaded by devils and delusions to seize control of his destiny, Cain devises a covetous scheme to get his life back on track. Yet when his plans come to fruition, Cain finds out that no one escapes their sins. Toe Tags and Tequila shares an ominous tale as Cains dreams take on a life of their own, his nightmares dogging his waking moments. Cain actions become ever more desperate as he seeks a way out.
