About this listen
Bonds are tested in a gripping story of betrayal, vengeance, and deadly ambition . . .
Carrie and Dottie raised Billy and Jesse Murphy to have each other’s backs, no matter what.
But on one fateful night, as Billy takes his girlfriend Willow on a date, his world takes a devastating turn.
A few days later, after a shocking revelation, the bond between the two brothers is broken–maybe forever.
At the same time, Cas Ferrier’s life is set to nosedive for a completely different reason. A long-buried heist, thought forgotten, returns with a vengeance, unleashing a ruthless killer with a thirst for bloodshed.
Family is everything to Billy, and when he witnesses a disturbing scene that can never be unseen, Dottie wonders if Billy will ever be the same again.
With revenge on their minds, will Billy and Cas uncover who is behind the series of devastating events?

Story
As the current head of the family firm, Jimmy Carter has decided it’s time for him to step down and for one of his other brothers to lead the family. Except only one of his brothers wants the job – the youngest Carter brother - reckless hot-head Jonny. Carla Carter has never forgiven her tramp of a mother for cheating on her beloved dad, Sonny and she’s determined to avenge him in the most perfect way: by stealing from the man who stole everything from her. Her Uncle Jimmy would never consider Carla’s plan – it’s way too risky and dangerous. But Jonny needs to prove himself.
