Jordan Gulok operates in the shadows between military service and civilian law enforcement. This Inuit ex-SEAL takes assignments the government cannot officially sanction, tracking down criminals across America with an expense account and complete deniability. When a massive blizzard paralyzes New York City, shutting down all transportation and emergency services, Jordan finds himself perfectly equipped for the hunt. His targets run a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical operation, manufacturing toxic drugs that kill victims across four continents. The cartel considers one man an impossible threat to their empire. Jordan has always worked solo, but this assignment forces him to seek help from Rose Ho, a Navy Department operative whose father controls Chinatown's underground networks. Rose offers valuable connections and potential romance, but Jordan cannot determine whether her loyalties align with his mission. As the criminal organization closes in, Jordan must decide if Rose represents salvation or another enemy wearing a beautiful disguise.
