When a terrorist explosion hits Boston and kills a fellow officer, Dove is pulled away from his new wife and daughter to face a deeply secretive past that has come back to avenge him.

When he lands in Boston after escaping from prison, Gaerity seeks out his former friend on a mission of destruction.
