Ethan Strike’s got the world at his feet, rich, untouchable feet. But beneath the polished surface, shadows linger.

Years ago, he sold out his partner to the police, trading loyalty for a shot at the top. Seattle’s ghosts forced him out, and now he's in LA, chasing deals and drowning memories. Then, a letter appears, a stranger’s threat, cold and calculated.

Ethan brushes it off, but the second note hits harder, more dangerous. It’s Leila, his old partner, and she’s got dirt that could ruin him. She wants a ransom, threatens exposure, and suddenly Ethan’s world tilts. The only thing that keeps him sane is Maya, his wife, who knows nothing of his past.

But as Leila’s trap tightens, Ethan finds himself caught between truth and lies. When the trap springs, the past erupt, threatening to wipe out everything he’s ever loved.

In this game, trust is a gamble, and Ethan’s chips are running out.
