Seven years ago, award-winning journalist Jake Hansen released an unsanctioned drug cartel story on the Internet, destroying his career, marriage and life.

Now, he finds himself drowning in booze, women and gambling. He runs a dive bar with his best friends, Pete Mills, a retired NYPD detective, and Lamar Wagner, an ex-con. They also take on the occasional private eye case.

When a big shot from the Casinos Commission hires Jake and his pals to find his missing daughter, a simple job quickly gets complicated, leading them into the depths of the underworld Jake once investigated. Jake and his team have one goal—find the girl and bring her to safety.

The stakes keep climbing, but Jake’s determined to win this time and reclaim some of the life he lost.
