A wanted thief and a deadly assassin lock horns in a battle of wills in the city of Port Iron, a city whose wealth of opportunities are matched only by its vast corruption. Ethan, a thief for hire, just wants to take his terminally ill mother somewhere safe, to pass on peace. But after his latest job doesn't go as planned, Ethan must now contend with a vicious killer stalking his every move, a killer who seems to be more than human. Not only does she want back what he stole, she wants Ethan as well, and not in the way he suspects.
