Jonas Rafferty, known among friends and enemies alike as Wrath, always dreamt of rising above his circumstances, and when he crosses paths with rogue homicide detective, he's offered a bargain that will change the course of his life. Detective Ceavers becomes like a guardian angel and surrogate father, teaching him the game and guiding him in his quest for power. His dreams are finally becoming reality when Alex, his childhood crush, gives him a glimpse of the one thing he's always craved more than money and power: love. Wrath begins to question himself and his decisions as he's drawn further away from the world he's created and deeper into the stable life he believes he could have with Alex.
