For Jason, a former black-ops operative, this was supposed to be a quiet retirement mission. But in a matter of seconds, the entire city transformed into a hunting ground when millions of citizens' phones rang simultaneously—displaying the face of the person he was protecting, with an astronomical bounty on his head. Trapped in a city ruled by corrupt officials and a syndicate of assassins, Jason must survive for twenty-four hours. With no extraction route and dwindling ammunition, Jason is about to prove one thing: they aren't hunting him—they are digging their own graves.
