Dan Kearny runs a car repossession agency in San Francisco, but this case pulls him into something far more dangerous than tracking down deadbeat drivers. When a routine investigation leads to unexpected violence, Kearny discovers that someone wants him dead. The hunter becomes the hunted as he navigates the city's shadowy underworld. Old debts and new enemies converge in a web of deception that threatens not just his business, but his life. Kearny must use every skill he has learned on the streets to survive. The stakes rise with each move he makes. In a city where loyalty is rare and betrayal comes cheap, Kearny fights to uncover the truth before it destroys him.
