Luke's past comes back to bite when the underworld boss he worked for as a teenager tracks him down. Can he keep his secrets – and can he escape from the dangers of his old life?

After years away from his home town of Melbourne, Luke is back on track. He’s worked hard to find peace. All he wants is a normal job. A house. A dog.

But Luke is a man with a past, when life was anything but peaceful and his skills ran to the dark side. A past not so easily forgotten – or forgiven.

When he crosses paths with Gus Alberici, the brutal criminal he worked for as a teenager, Gus wants him back on the job – and he’s not the kind of man who’ll take no for an answer. Luke’s father has vanished, along with a chunk of Gus’s cash, and Luke is dragged into the search. And to further derail his peace, something is up with his new girlfriend’s father…

As his past and present collide, Luke struggles with people and events from a past he’d rather forget – but can he outsmart a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants?
