Forced to work undercover by Captain Freeman, Detective Reginald Thomas Williams is sucked into a whirlwind of stolen cars, gangsters, a crazy German, and his volatile partner—Officer Carmen Sanchez. Heated sparks fly between Reg and Sanchez, hot enough to burn down the case and kill them both. Detective Reuben Garcia must track a mystery killer eliminating lawyers for the prosecution. A bullet to the head and they're dead. His haunted past could derail the investigation, sending Reuben spiraling down a dark, familiar path. Then comes the Animal. Back from the dead? Impossible. The trail of bodies he's leaving behind suggests it isn't. Johnathan Fare destroyed everything Reg lived for. It's time to balance the scales and put the Animal in the ground for good. God have mercy on the guilty.
