Some lessons in life are learned the hard way. Mike and Keelan meet each other as opposites in a prison where violence, murder, and power games are everyday life. To survive they make a pact. They stand together against the rough life in a hell where the prisoners are nothing more than numbers in a book and left to their own fates—a fate where one’s place in a twisted hierarchy is paramount for survival. But can a mercenary, who worked for the law, trust a murderer? Can that murderer trust the mercenary?

Keelan and Mike met as opposites in a prison where violence, murder, and power games were everyday life. To survive, they made a pact to stand together. But that demands trust, and on the shadowy side of life, trust is fragile. When Keelan’s past catches up with him, the odd friendship yet again faces the same grave questions: Can a murderer trust a mercenary who worked for the law? Can the mercenary trust the murderer?

Some lessons in life are learned the hard way. As opposites, the mercenary Mike and the mass murderer Keelan have overcome numerous challenges together. Now, Keelan’s past has caught up with him, and they are forced to consider whether they dare trust anyone else. It’s a difficult question when Keelan’s daughter, Misery, seems to have inherited a few of her dad’s more questionable talents. Misery wakes up to a whole new life on a ship with mercenaries. Trust is not in her nature—especially when it smells of authorities. But they can’t handle this one alone. It’s time to pool all their resources.
