Picking up soon after the events of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, this story explores the bonds of friendship, the aftermath of betrayal, and includes a lively mix of banter, action, angst, and globe-trotting adventure.
When news of a series of high-profile murders sparks international interest, Bucky and Sam find themselves undercover to investigate a lead that could place it as the work of an unknown assailant who might be a part of the "Big Four."
While Bucky would prefer to believe that his time as the Winter Soldier is long behind him, strange dreams and the shadows of missing memories prompt him to realize that their hidden secrets may be the only thing standing between them and another Hydra operation of unknown ends.
But to move forward, Bucky will need to navigate the complex question of where the Winter Soldier ends and the White Wolf begins...
"Factually speaking: The nightmares had gotten better. [...] The difference seemed to be that now, sometimes he didn't remember his dreams at all, or the dreams he had were not always moored in the past that was altogether familiar. They weren't always violent, just disconcerting, like they were the dreams of someone else entirely..."
Pasts intertwined, connections beyond friendship.
