After taking part in a historic heist - 52 simultaneous robberies at the same time - May and Eugene are now on the run not only from the law and double-crossed former accomplices, but also their violent past. This is no ordinary criminal duo whoever, instead May and Eugene are a young mother and her preteen son. Thus begins the intense yet touching, Bastard, tracing a deadly escape crisscrossing the United States, in a high-boiled page-turner blending brutality with moments of maternal love, and with an adolescent anti-hero that you're sure not to forget.
