He was nobody—an unemployed drifter trying to keep his head down—until the night he stepped between a woman and a pack of Gang A enforcers. In the split-second chaos, he mistakenly leaves the gang lord’s son brutally injured. By dawn, there’s a bounty on his head and every shadow bristles with hunters. With nowhere to run, he’s dragged into a turf war he never asked for.

To survive, he must pick a side—or become the fuse that sets both syndicates ablaze. One impulsive act of courage ignites a brutal reckoning, and the only way out is through the heart of the war he tried to avoid.
