Downsized keeps you guessing as three story lines are woven together. Well loved by the fans of his sports column and many others, Quade O’Bric is reasonably happy until his life suddenly begins to fall apart. His love of the bottle may be the cause of his unforeseen job loss or maybe it was all his two-timing supervisor; the drinking and his sloppy, overweight appearance certainly led to his wife’s threat of divorce.

By chance and his own curiosity he gets involved in a couple of strange situations that involve some Mafia figures, a crooked cop and a pillar of the community. Mixed with some well drawn personalities and Quade’s desire to completely change his life, the story draws us in and keeps us rooting for Quade and some new-found friends.
