Imaginatively rendered and a gripping debut, a young man's dance with
the criminal underworld lands him in international hot water and left
vying for his life in this crime thriller mash-up of American Gangster
and The Bourne Identity.
Raphael Waters grew up accustomed to being in a constant state of
survival. When he becomes the muscle for known street figure, Rah, he
believes his life has taken a turn for the better. That is until a
string of unfortunate circumstances leave Rah missing and Raphael

A chance encounter with the intriguing Alex Gatts promises to be the
life-changing turnaround he needs.

solidifies their standing amongst the country's elite and most powerful
syndicate. When an international business deal of a lifetime goes awry,
Raphael is left holding the bag in enemy territory.
