John Milton hasn't seen Elijah Warriner for three years. The last time
they met, Milton's efforts to keep the boy safe didn't go exactly to
plan. Now Elijah is a promising boxer, preparing for the bout that will
take him to the big time. Milton decides that he will spend the week
before Christmas in London so that he can watch the fight.
But Elijah's burgeoning fame has brought him to the attention of old
acquaintances with long memories and grudges to bear. They have noticed
Elijah, too, and decide that now is the time to settle old scores.
Can Milton keep the young man and his mother safe, or will Elijah's old
running mates get to him first?
