After the dust settles and the smoke clears, Halstead Manor still stands quietly, watchful, and full of secrets. With Jack's fate hanging in the balance, Susie finds herself drawn to the one place she never thought she'd return to. Eddie Horniman never asked for this empire, but it's his now and so is the darkness that comes with it.
When Susie shows up at Halstead unannounced, what begins as a moment of uncertainty slowly twists into something deeper, sharper, and far more dangerous. Together, Eddie and Susie navigate the fractured remains of their families criminal legacies, forming a bond built on loyalty and fire with a need for control neither of them fully understands.
