Honus returned from the Iraq War to a job with the NYPD… but his demons from the war caused him to lose that job. As a security guard at New York’s leading news channel, HD10, he thinks he’s out of harm’s way, until his demons come back to haunt him one fateful afternoon.

From a funeral to running for her life is not all in a day’s work for Edith (Dita). As a medical technology researcher, she has co-created a computer chip to control her epilepsy. After paramilitary soldiers try to pry the chip out of her head, it’s up to Honus to protect her life.

Cardozo is Honus’ former police partner and is now one of the few people he trusts – and gives him encouragement. Honus often refuses to listen, even though she’s often right. Brilliant in her own right, she’s attentive to detail – and to Honus.

Beverly inherited Sadler Pharmaceuticals’ CEO post from her late father, Morris. One of the great game-players, she can be Dita’s best friend and worst enemy in the same sentence. She’s looking out for her baby, the company, no matter what else happens.

As Dita’s father mourns the loss of his friend and research partner, he feels age beginning to creep up on him. He’s trying to hold it together with the help of his daughter and a colleague – but the pressure of the business and a new threat challenge his sanity.

Minnow was once in trouble with the police but he had a friend in the department in Honus. Since then, he’s become a top maitre d’ at a members-only club in the City, a club where Beverly Rost spends most of her time – and makes most of her deals.

Steinberg is the definition of tough love: he sends one of his detectives to help an ex-detective through a time of need. He’s seen it all in his years on the force, and can share his wisdom and insight with the youngbloods under his command.
