Alongside her are Buck, the gentle chef with fists of steel when his crew is threatened; Fritz, the no-nonsense captain who keeps the team in line; and Kirt, the prankster who knows when to put the jokes aside and fight. Together, they'll have to rely on trust, loyalty, and each other as they face the secrets of Blind Wrath- and discover just how far they're willing to go for their crew. Exploring the unknown... mostly by accident.
