FBI Special Agent Michael di Rossi has one purpose: to bring international crime lord William Chiang to justice. In his pursuit, he finds himself in charge of investigating wealthy tycoon Conrad Arthur Dupree and his corporation's alleged ties to the Chiang Organization. Enter Lieutenant Kathryn O'Rourke, the hardened homicide detective whose own bloody past with Chiang has left her but a shell of her former self. Who now, via her involvement in the multi-jurisdictional investigation of Conrad Dupree, is loathe to discover that the wily and sadistic Mr. Chiang is back to wreak havoc in her life after nearly a decade of haunting silence. At the eye of the storm is shy and intellectually gifted Bobby Dupree. The misfit son of larger-than-life Conrad and Evelyn Dupree finds himself alone as he searches for refuge in the wake of the grisly murder that takes place in his home. A murder that draws the attention of the masses and rocks a nation to its core.
