Wilson spent his entire life under the radar. Few people knew who he was and even less knew how to find him. Only two people even knew what he really did. He worked jobs for one very bad man. Illegal jobs no one could ever know about. Wilson was invisible until the day he crossed the line and risked everything to save the last connection to humanity he had. One day changed everything. Wilson saved his friends and earned the hatred of a vengeful mob boss, a man who claimed he was Charles Darwin's worst nightmare. Wilson survived his transgression and went even deeper into the underworld of Hamilton becoming a ghost in the city - an unknown to almost everyone until he was paid back for his one good deed. It started with a simple job. Steal a bag from the airport and hand it off. No one said what was in the bag, and no one mentioned who the real owners were or what they would do to get it back. One bag sets into motion a violent chain of events from which no one will escape untouched. Wilson learns that no one forgets, no one gets away clean, and no good deed goes unpunished.

Drei kriminelle Bullen jagen einen Mörder. Woody war gerade dabei high zu werden, als das Telefon klingelte. Dennis hatte ein Date - es war ein Date, für das er bezahlt hatte, aber dennoch ein Date. Os hatte Blut an den Händen von einer kleinen außerplanmäßigen Strafvollstreckung. Detective Julie Owen wurde brutal in ihrem eigenen Bett getötet und das ungeborene Kind, das sie trug, ist nirgends zu finden. Woody, Dennis und Os haben eine Verbindung zu Julie. Jeder auf seine Weise. Die jedoch tiefer ging als das Blau ihrer Uniformen. Jeder hat seine eigenen Gründe die Person zu finden, die für den Mord an Julie verantwortlich ist. Os, besser bekannt als der "Tin Man", der nur Schild und ohne Herz ist; sein Partner Charlie Woodward, besser bekannt als Woody, der mit seinen eigenen Verlusten fertig wird, indem er zwischen Heroin und Adderall hin und her springt und Dennis Hamlet, besser bekannt als ein Typ, der Fälle abschließt, auch wenn Woody und Os nichts mit ihm zu tun haben wollen, vielleicht weil er viel weniger klug ist als er meint. Ein denkwürdig kaltherziger Fall der reichlich Beweise für die düstere Behauptung liefert, dass "nicht jeder Polizist schmutzig ist, aber die Guten".
