Johnson Vasquez has not been the same since the day he left the Cincinnati Police Department. Already damaged by the death of his brother, he found himself hanging by a thread seven years later because of a lapse in justice.

Now, having lived to tell the tale, he has taken to a new line of work at a bicycle store, hoping to put his backstories to the furthest and darkest corners of his mind. What he doesn't realize is that luck is his worst enemy.

A murderer crosses Johnson's path again, and this time, it's nothing like he's seen before. His old career as a policeman tells him that fate cannot be trusted to be an ally if he is to find the perpetrator.
