The story begins with Hammer's close friend, Jack Williams, being brutally murdered. Swearing to deliver justice personally, Hammer dives into New York City's shadowy world, determined to uncover the killer. The novel explores themes of vengeance, loyalty, and moral ambiguity, with Hammer using his own brand of justice, which often defies the law.
