Storyline
In Chicago, Wesley Gibson works at a dead-end desk job with an overbearing boss, takes medication for panic attacks, and has a live-in girlfriend who cheats on him with his co-worker and best friend, Barry. The group’s leader, Sloan, forces Wesley at gunpoint through the Gunsmith to shoot the wings off of several flies, which he does, much to Wesley’s shock.

“The book is a film that takes place in the mind of the reader. That’s why we go to movies and say, “Oh, the book is better.”
