Gideon killed his father at age seven with one bullet to save the woman he called mother. That moment forged him into one of the world's most lethal assassins. Now a botched job in Antigua has left him wounded and paranoid. When former lover Arizona appears asking for help, she calls in an old debt. Gideon owes his life to the son of legendary con artist Scamz. The favor forces him to Argentina chasing a briefcase that holds part of a larger secret. Standing in his way are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, elite killers who will do anything to claim the package. One Horseman shares a hidden connection with Gideon that neither man knows exists. Their inevitable confrontation will expose buried truths. As Gideon navigates betrayals and searches for answers about his past, he becomes the target of an elaborate double cross. He must fight to protect himself and the few people he still trusts.
