Deacon Shaw is a washed up marine turned mercenary turned boozer employed to protect and train Madison Benchley-Lawrence, the youngest member in a grossly wealthy, world renowned family. But when tragedy strikes the family, and they begin to drop like flies one after the other, Deacon finds himself challenged against one of New York's notorious serial killers police have been chasing for the past fifteen years. Deacon is forced to confront his past he has tried to bury for years, fight to the death, piece together the sad, twisted, shady lives of the multi-billion dollar Benchley's. He will tackle feelings he has never before felt in his life; pity, sympathy, sadness. Would he even dare to go as far to think... love? Is there more to the facade the family puts on for the entire world? Is there more that happens behind their closed mansion walls and doors? Is it even worth it? ...Is she even worth it?"
