Christian Judge doesn’t want to kill. He has to. His relationship with his family is non-existent, he has no friends to speak of and his long list of one night stands is meaningless. Judge’s strongest relationships are with drugs and alcohol and his knife. Oh, yes – Judge loves a sharp blade more than anything and anyone. Enter Steven Jury, the privileged son of Judge’s employer. Judge is meant to be showing Steven the sights, but the attraction is instant and Steven makes it clear he wants more from Judge than a tour guide. All Judge has to do is keep his murderous impulses under control – not easy when his estranged brother is trying to blackmail him and a mysterious stalker wants to stake his claim - and he might finally have found the place where he belongs.

For Danny Smith, what should have been a privileged lifestyle turned out to be anything but. Instead of becoming a teacher he ended up as a hired thug for gangland boss, Ronnie Carr. And now, Ronnie has another role in mind for Danny – that of babysitter to angel faced, psychopathic man-child, Christian Judge. As Judge embarks on a killing spree and descends further into madness with every life he takes, Danny goes along for the ride, his only goal to protect Judge. All Judge wants is for the ghosts of his past to leave him alone. He wants to be a good boyfriend and give Danny the settled life he deserves, but how can he ever be normal when he’s wired wrong? And Judge has enemies. A lot of them. There are people who hate him, although not as much as he hates himself. Can Danny save Judge from the greatest threat of all – his own mind?
