When a stray bullet puts his wife in a coma, a retired army sergeant and former pro wrestler takes on New York’s gangs, mob bosses and the corrupt system that protects them.
The story
One man’s war on a city that let him down
In a city swallowed by darkness, where violence rules the streets and hope is a forgotten dream, one man stands on the edge of vengeance.
Big Joey Cassidy is a retired army sergeant and former pro wrestler. When a stray bullet plunges his wife into a coma, his fury knows no bounds, and he takes justice into his own hands.
Joey takes on street gangs, mob bosses and a corrupt system with a savagery that makes the city’s most feared criminals look like amateurs. But the closer he gets to avenging his family, the more he uncovers a web of corruption that reaches the highest levels of power. Can he deliver his own brand of justice without losing his soul?
