Special Agent Tom has spent years tracking Enzo Ferrante, a Camorra enforcer who operates behind a polished exterior while spreading violence across New York. Enzo has escaped justice repeatedly, protected by his crime family's power and his own careful methods. When Enzo makes a rare mistake, Tom seizes the opportunity to insert himself into the criminal's life as his protector rather than his pursuer. The hunter becomes the savior, binding them together in a dangerous game of deception. Tom gains access to Enzo's secrets, his bed, and his trust while the enforcer remains engaged to his unsuspecting fiancée. As Tom gathers evidence to destroy the entire Ferrante organization, he discovers that capturing his target means possessing him completely. The line between justice and obsession blurs as Tom prepares to deliver his venomous betrayal.
