After spending five years in prison, Jim Tannion was more than happy to get out. He was only a little surprised when the FBI agent who had put him in prison in the first place met him at the gate. Tannion was even more surprised when he realized that he was looking forward to seeing him, and could almost call him a friend. Mike Rallin was now the agent in charge of an elite FBI organized crime unit, but when Tannion's old friends in Los Angeles become the target of Rallin's team, Tannion couldn't stay away. Could he stop his new friend from hurting his old friends, and did he know who his real friends were? Tannion has his hands full setting things straight and keeping himself and his friends alive and out of jail, while trying to keep friendships intact on both sides of the law; a delicate balancing act that he might not survive.
