Barrett, Saxon, and Mitch defy the law to uphold a sacred vow—a blood oath forged in the fires of loyalty and retribution.

At ten years old, Mitch was bullied and beaten by a Catholic priest because of his Jewish heritage. He was saved by his friend David, whose father—a member of the New York mafia—killed the priest in retaliation.

The price? A covenant with David and his father that if the mafia scion ever needed saving, Mitch would answer the call without hesitation.

Now, owner of Mercantile Bank, David is about to be arrested for a Ponzi scheme. Out of options, he calls in Mitchell’s debt pulling him into the criminal underworld.

While Mitch works alongside a mafia capo using financial warfare to save the bank, he asks Barrett and Saxon secret David away. They reluctantly trust his care to Saxon’s Basque ‘friends’ who have retired from terrorism to simple drug trafficking.

Things turn from bad to worse when David gets up to his old tricks in Spain and the three men must take on old allies to get him free. State-side, the bank teeters on the brink of collapse—if there’s a run on the bank, it will trigger a financial domino effect and major recession.

As the stakes grow higher, no one is off limits, and old enemies take the opportunity to strike. To survive, Mitch will have to make the hardest choice of his life in order to protect himself and his team.
