When former cop Miles Carter's teenage son, Leo, is wrongfully convicted of murdering a Supreme Court nominee's son, every door to justice slams shut. Desperate and hunted, Miles uncovers a conspiracy reaching from prison cells to political chambers, where the truth is worth killing to protect.
Inside the walls, Leo struggles to survive among predators, drawn into the orbit of a dangerous inmate known only as Ghost. Outside, Miles plays a perilous game - digging into secrets that powerful men will bury at any cost. Father and son are bound by blood, but survival demands a choice: break the system, or be broken by it.
Dark, relentless, and layered with betrayal, Line of Descent is a thriller of corruption, family, and the dangerous lengths we go to for those we love.
