London, 2012.

Six lives collide in pursuit of love, lust, violence and redemption.

Dan Trench is unravelling. When he’s not going through the motions of life, he’s pining after his ex-fiancée and getting into fights. His chaotic path crosses with Gareth Eary, an old friend turned high-flying stockbroker whose success is built on a painful secret – one that draws him into the orbit of billionaire hedge-fund boss Aurelius Blois. Gareth is offered a chance to change his life forever, but at a cost: dirty work and dangerous alliances.

Meanwhile, Dan’s romance with investment banker Marianne Bleekman ends in heartbreak. In her absence, he disappears into the City’s violent underbelly. And now, with financial deceit and personal ruin playing out across investment-bank trading floors and underground fight clubs, everyone is clawing for survival.

When greed, revenge and sexual violence reach a brutal climax, Dan must decide: will he find redemption in restraint, or in one final, devastating act?
