As Ethan uncovers James’s betrayal and the truth behind his parents’ death, his hatred for Dante begins to fracture. Forced into a world of gang wars, dirty cops, hidden ledgers, and blood contracts, Ethan discovers that Dante may be the only man willing to protect him without lying.

In the end, he stops being a pawn and chooses Dante freely.
