After his release from Calhoun Prison, Xavier Prince makes an executive decision: He unleashes the Peacekeepers in an attempt to liberate the residents of a housing project from ruthless drug pushers and thugs.

His decision will leave him beloved and revered by People of Color...and more vulnerable than ever before to his enemies.

But it will have far more reaching implications than that.

His brother Chris will be left with reduced leverage in his dealings with the FBI. And Roxanne Sanchez, who is trapped in Carver at the point of impasse, finds her very life now hanging in the balance.

And as Louis Keaton begins his twisted Rapture of Atlanta's children, his fate and his captive's fates will take an unexpected and harrowing turn.
