The Sad Saga of Angus MacTavish

By the spring of 2018, Angus MacTavish had flunked out of Glasgow Caledonian University. Deciding to move to America, he ended up in Flint, Michigan, a city he heard of that had a water crisis around four years earlier. Flint seemed like a place Angus was meant to be in; poor, broken, and in need of some TLC.Finding work as an apprentice mechanic, Angus was offered the opportunity by a co-worker to participate in a complex scheme to deceitfully obtain the tool shop where they worked. Angus felt that his acquaintance's plan would fail. But for lack of maturity or the need to be accepted, Angus agreed to go along with him. Angus had gone into debt to Sandy Thompson, a professional criminal in Scotland, to get the documents needed to pull off their fraudulent scheme. When they attempted to carry out their coup the two amateur conmen were immediately sacked. Thompson used Angus' debt to force him into a complex international money laundering venture. Angus, needing to rid himself of Thompson's hold, met with his co-conspirator to discuss repaying their debt, but his accomplice rebuffed him, so Angus killed him.After confessing his problems to his fiancée, she offered to help Angus get rid of Thompson's grip on him. She recruited a New York Times reporter to write Angus' story with the hopes of surviving the consequences. In the end it was Angus' attempted murder of one of Thompson's lackeys that ended Angus MacTavish's saga.
