Chanté Morrison is a woman scarred by loss and consumed by revenge. After the death of her boyfriend, cold-blooded serial killer Giuseppe “Discipline” Cain, she makes it her mission to destroy the two homicide detectives she holds responsible: Aaden Bravo and Christian Bennett.

Already suspended from active duty after losing a suspect and becoming involved in a public shootout, Aaden and Christian are watching their personal and professional lives unravel. Aaden is reeling from the collapse of his marriage and haunted by their failure to arrest Chanté when they had the chance. Christian is struggling to stay on course through therapy while fighting the temptation to fall back into the women, drugs, and gambling that once ruled his life.

What neither detective realizes is that their mounting misfortunes are no coincidence. From the shadows, Chanté is meticulously pulling the strings, exploiting their weaknesses and dismantling their lives piece by piece.

As her vendetta pushes both men to the brink, Aaden and Christian must figure out just how far Chanté is willing to go before there is nothing left to save. Can the partners survive the wrath of a grieving woman determined to avenge Discipline’s death, or will Chanté finish what he started?
