Sometimes being good at your job has devastating consequences. Former FBI rising star, Lawson Raines, isn't the man he used to be. He's become a monster. Losing your wife, your daughter, and spending ten years behind bars will do that to a man. Especially an innocent one. Now Lawson's life sentence has been pardoned, and the people that conspired to put him away are desperately scrambling to bury their little secret in the Las Vegas desert once and for all. They know he's smart, they trained him. They know he's dangerous, he almost caught them. What they don't understand is that when the law he swore to protect failed him, the rules no longer apply. And when a well trained man, with nothing to lose, who's endured years of suffering comes for you, all the money and power on earth can't save you. But having the one thing left in the world that he is willing to die for, just might do the trick. "Jack Reacher meets John Wick."

Former FBI detective Lawson Raines moved to a new city for a fresh start. He doesn't understand how the seedy underbelly of Hollywood works, but after taking the wrong job, he'll lose everything if he doesn't figure it out—fast. When a woman is shot on his property, Lawson is thrust into a mystery fit for the big screen. But this is no movie, and the danger presented by the people he becomes entangled with couldn't be more real. Caught between powerhouse producers and cartel bosses, Lawson and his partner Cassie must decipher what is true, who wants what, and most importantly how to keep from taking the fall. With each clue they uncover, the mystery deepens, and the consequences of being wrong become deadlier by the second. One false move and the truth could bury them all.
