Xander Drew has declared war on crime boss Stephen Fields.
The dangerous vigilante now has his sights set on taking down him and his entire criminal enterprise, dismantling his networks of drugs, prostitution, and money laundering.
As his efforts increase, he comes into contact with the law in Los Angeles: veteran Detective Thomas Horton, lawyer Megan Greene, and FBI agent Duncan Taggart.
Will they steer him towards the right path in dealing with Fields… or when he drag these good people down with him on his obsessive quest, until they end up in a place where all that’s left of them… is cinders?
