Months after surviving the violence that shattered Montrose, retired Navy Corpsman Bradley Ghast has found a new lease on life as a private investigator. When two seemingly unconnected crimes expose buried corruption tied to a powerful criminal network he thought he had crippled, Bradley is pulled back into a world he can't seem to escape.

As he navigates a deadly maze of betrayal, cartel vengeance, and hidden agendas, old ghosts resurface and new alliances form. But the deeper he digs, the clearer one truth becomes: redemption always demands a reckoning.
