When his sister is brutally beaten, he has to choose: Work with Veritas or allow Vladimir Buryshkin destroy his family, again.

Because of the Russian mobster, Morgan Blake lost both her husband and her career at the FBI. Now working with Veritas she's eager to take Buryshkin down. So eager she's willing to anything to make that happen, even if it means sacrificing a certain ex-con.
