In the heart of New York City, where the line between heroes and villains blurs, stands Seed—an enigmatic genius trapped in a web of his own making. For years, he's armed the powerful and the perilous, keeping a delicate balance. But now, as he seeks to retire and escape the shadows, a new menace rises. Grover Pavlov, a name whispered with fear, has plans that threaten to unravel everything Seed has worked for. In a twist of fate, Seed's final job, a covert deal with the city's most feared crime boss, Francesca, goes awry. With Francesca missing and Pavlov in her place, Seed is plunged into a game of chess with stakes higher than ever. Caught between his legacy and the unknown future, Seed must navigate a battleground where allies and enemies are interchangeable. Can he outsmart Pavlov and safeguard a city teetering on the edge, or is his past doomed to define his future?
