In the ’80s, and after two decades of calm, the slow thaw between Sydney’s two ruling underworld families has just ended after nine dealers are gunned down in cold blood by one of their own. Divide and conquer, but they needed a fall guy, they just picked the wrong man.

After 10 toxic years in foster care, with no family, no friends and no future, Phil Kelly ticked every box. And now his life has become a disposable asset in a gang war with no rules. It was time to go to Plan B—duck-n-run. That was until he is handed a photo of a teenage girl being held hostage that could be a sister he has never met.

With just his street smarts and a heart already shot to pieces, can Kelly stay alive long enough to unravel an unknown past cruelly ripped away by the actions of his own mother?

In Kelly’s life, there is no grey. Take your best shot—but you better not miss. Bloodlines are forever, and payback is a promise written in blood.
