Leisje is a deadly operative for an off-the-books government program, guided by cold precision and haunted by a dark and turbulent past. Renton Clark is a volatile agent consumed by a decade-long obsession to avenge his murdered daughter. Both believe they are indispensable assets to their shadow handler, Parker, and the ruthless division chief behind him. They are wrong.
When a routine assignment spirals into bloodshed, revealing that their agency is purging its own ranks, Leisje and Renton realize they are nothing more than throwaway pawns. Forced into a tense alliance neither of them want, they must navigate a deadly gauntlet of hit squads, corrupt handlers, and buried secrets as they figure out who in the government can be trusted, if anyone.
To survive, an icy assassin and a father with nothing left to lose will have to turn on the shadowy machine that created them-before they are erased for good.
