Strawberry Jack: A Tale from Paradise Heights - written & directed by Joe O'Byrne

Strawberry Jack Grundy was a wild child that grew into a ferocious man. Once the War Horse of Paradise Heights, recent events have stacked the deck firmly against the One Eyed Jack of The Ace of Spades Club. He is now a fading shadow of the warrior and street fighter he once was.

Captivating thriller!

But the rescue of a woman on the mean streets of Paradise Heights thrusts Jack into a situation he has never faced before, untapped feelings stir and a frozen heart begins to melt. But One Eyed Jacks aren’t always lucky; someone wants Jack dead by Christmas.  

They say Christmas is a time for angels, a time for miracles. Well Jack may have found his angel. Now all he needs is a miracle…
