Synopsis

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 grasping for answers in the streets of the concrete
jungle—once again. A chance encounter with the intriguing Alex Gatts promises to be the life-changing turnaround he needs.

Alex Gatts is the perfect mixture of beauty and brawn. She rules the nightlife of South Bend with every click of her sky-high stilettos. When she hires Raphael as her bodyguard, an unexpected friendship develops, sparking a lucrative business
proposition that could give Alex the edge she desires.

Raphael lets his guard down and breaks his cardinal rule: Never trust a woman.

Together they embark on a series of real estate deals that 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.
