When successful Knoxville attorney Ben Ranger is abducted outside his office, his brother, TBI Agent Tad Ranger, is thrust into a race against time. With little evidence and even fewer leads, Tad digs into Ben's client history, uncovering a dangerous web of deceit, betrayal, and a shadowy figure known only as Rook—a man who deals in power, secrets, and the ultimate form of leverage.

As Tad and his partner, Cory Stark, close in on the truth, the case turns personal, forcing him to confront not only a brilliant and ruthless enemy but also the long-standing expectations of his own family. With Ben's life hanging in the balance, Tad will stop at nothing to bring him home—even if it means breaking every rule in the book.
