A New York City firefighter and a woman wearing an Islamic veil go on a blind date. Will sparks fly?

IN THE PALACE OF THE PLANET KING by Edwin Rivera-Arias
Two streeted-down been-around men and a crawling mute find themselves locked away in a bleak and sinister institution they can’t puzzle out. Soon enough it dawns on them that the game’s been fixed at jump street. In other words, they might be doomed to a life sentence and– wouldn’t you know it?– there ain’t a parole board in sight.

**Please Note: Recommended for ages 16+. Includes mature language and themes.**
