The only sure way to destroy a person is to take away from him what he cannot live without. Three years ago I had everything. A beautiful wife. A son. A reason to live. Until a ruthless task force led by the mayor Michael Cullin's brutal strategy to make the streets of Detroit "safe" didn't take everything I loved from me in a deadly hunt called "The Selection." They tried to kill me too. I wish they could do it. Now I am cursed with the memories of that night and the words I whispered to my dying wife. A promise to take revenge on evil and to do right. I am no longer Nick Ryder. I am a vigilante in disguise. No face. Without love. Without fear. A man with nothing left to lose is one who has seen the darkness and hard truth hiding behind the city's pristine exterior. Michael Cullin doesn't know who I am. Or what I want. All he knows is that I kidnapped his beautiful wife. An eye for an eye, or whatever the saying goes? And Aubrey Cullin is the perfect pawn to destroy it. If she doesn't destroy me first.
