After Evan Arden was imprisoned by the enemy for a year and a half, he returned from the desert as a hero. He suffered some minor injuries while in captivity and was removed from Marine duty due to a hint of unstable condition, but was considered unharmed. Now he wonders how he ended up where he is now - imprisoned at the Chicago Correctional Center to reflect on having endured the county park's superior shooting skills with a high-powered sniper rifle and a repeated series of shots. Leah Antonio, the woman Evan saved from the desert heat in last year, is the only person who can bring him out of his incessant insomnia and PTSD. When Leah helps him, Evan knows he can't just let her go again. He had never thought about leaving the business before - who leaves the mafia? - but he is determined to get both Leah and a quiet life. Evan encounters various individuals who are ready to get him out of prison on the condition of a deal, but the situation becomes more deadly and dangerous than he could have imagined. When a war between three mafias breaks out on the horizon, and the feds have physical evidence they can't turn a blind eye to, Evan has no choice but to get involved in another conflict. Trying to do everything right, Evan crosses paths with the wrong person and ends up in center of attention during a critical moment. With intelligence and observational skills, he tries to stay ahead of his former employees, but this time it's not only his own life that is at stake - Evan must protect Leah from the man who once called him son.
