As Ben struggles to uncover the mystery of Josh’s abduction, violence from his past in this beautiful but cruel country rears its head once more. Will any of his old comrades come to his aid? Could one of his old enemies be behind his current torment?If so, Ben is ready. He is no stranger to brutality and is prepared to save his son at all costs.
