A disgraced detective's investigation into a suspicious death plunges him into a deadly conspiracy that threatens everything he holds dear.

Sam Laska, a former Chicago Police detective, thought he'd left the murder business behind. But when a friend asks him to investigate a questionable death, he finds himself drawn into a treacherous web of drug dealers, hired killers, and political puppet masters.

As Laska unravels the conspiracy, he's captivated by an alluring medical examiner's assistant. But with each step he takes, the danger grows, and his mistakes put those closest to him at risk.

Faced with an impossible choice, Laska must sacrifice himself to bring the killers to justice and protect the ones he loves.

Can Laska untangle the web of deceit and corruption before it's too late, or will he become the next victim in this deadly game?
