Nick Mason sits in his maximum security cell when an impossible offer arrives. Accept a deal with fellow inmate Darius Cole, and walk free twenty years ahead of schedule. Mason takes it. Now he has a house, a car, cash, and a stunning roommate. But freedom is an illusion. When his phone buzzes, Mason must answer. Whatever Cole orders from his own cell, Mason executes. The jobs grow deadlier. Detective Frank Sandoval, who originally arrested Mason, closes in. Mason wants to reconnect with his daughter and ex-wife, to build something real. Instead, he commits crimes for a man who controls an empire from behind bars. Cole's reach extends everywhere. Mason faces an impossible choice. He can remain Cole's puppet forever, or risk everything he cares about to break the chain that binds him.
