CHAPTER 1

When Porchay becomes a target in the mafia's power struggle, he refuses to stay helpless. Against everyone's warnings, he turns to Vegas for training-the one man who understands what it means to survive in the dark. But as he learns to fight back, Porchay risks losing the very innocence that once kept him safe. And Vegas? He might just find redemption in the one person he was never meant to protect.
