In the 1940s, the small and reckless city of Retrouvaille is led by a young, yet innovative criminal boss who uses his power to protect the civilians from the corrupted city officials and political figures who wish to rid the population of its outcasts. With his older brother who's a criminal lawyer and his younger brother safe in college, Remington Leith swears to use his control over his hometown to deflect violent threats from his rivals and enemies.
But what happens when he stumbles upon a mistreated and innocent prostitute who is afraid to ask for help, and he can't help but want to give up everything to keep her safe?

"Why do you waste your resources on me? I'm nothing but a trashy whore who never had anything given to her but always taken."
She looked down at her feet, sinking in her own words that she was conditioned to believe for all her life. Then, to her surprise, I placed two gentle fingers to lift her chin up and caused her to look into my eyes as I responded with a bright smile on my face.
"What's the point of being powerful if you're not using it to save someone who's life is worth more than yours?"
《TW: There might be possible mentions of mistreatment, abuse, (more to be mentioned), etc., but I don't go into detail or am graphic about it. If you're sensitive to those kind of subjects and that triggers or upsets you, I'll put a warning before each chapter so you can take precaution.》
