"I knew that if I didn't play my cards right, our story would end with her betraying me with gunshot to the head. For now, she was loyal. The question was simply of how long that blind trust would last." Nick is an arms dealer in a war-torn country. Having cut everyone from his life, his only interactions with others are with his customers, a disgraced doctor running an illegal practice, and Acadia, an ex-military sniper and Nick's business partner. His routine of manipulating Acadia and selling weapons ends when he's contacted by a wealthy family with one job: get their son out of the country. The seemingly simple mission grows complicated as the boy's past becomes clear and Nick loses his control over his partner.
