This is not a story about a super-spy, but about a deeply flawed and vulnerable hero. Adam’s mission begins humbly, helping one survivor, Allison, find purpose. But as he tries to build a legitimate business to fund his crusade, he comes up against relentless, brutal criminals. The psychological toll is immense. When Allison relapses into the addiction forced upon her by her captors, Adam is consumed by guilt and self-doubt, pushing his own sobriety and sanity to the absolute limit.
The book’s power lies in this intimate, high-stakes conflict. The central question isn’t just whether Adam can save others, but whether he can save himself in the process. It’s a story about the crushing weight of good intentions in a brutal world and the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.
