He moves from contract to contract, completing impossible missions before vanishing without a trace. His reputation in the covert world is unmatched. But Gentry's skills have made him dangerous to the wrong people. Those who control money and power now see him as a liability rather than an asset. They decide he has outlived his usefulness and must be eliminated. Suddenly the hunter becomes the hunted. Gentry finds himself fighting not for his next paycheck but for his survival.
