With Mike haunted by his past, Chris standing beside him, and Alicia stepping into a destiny far greater than she imagined, their journeys become part of a much larger battle, one that will test friendship, love and loyalty. But when revenge demands sacrifice and deadly secrets threaten to tear lives apart, who will stand firm, and who will fall?
