As the puzzle starts to come together, Donny discovers he's out of his depth in a world of corporate intrigue and murder for hire. No longer the hunter, he becomes the target of a skilled and merciless contract killer. Donny's only chance to save himself is to confront the person pulling the strings. It's a desperate plan and it will cost him everything he has left.
