When Derrek Reynolds meets Al Card, a charming older man, he can't help but be drawn to him. The result of his decision is the death of his parents, a bout in a prison-like orphanage, and an introduction to a psychopath named Satch. Things only deteriorate from there as Derrek finds himself recruited by the mafia as their doctor. It doesn't take long for the Don to set Derrek on the path of ending lives instead of saving them. That's when Derrek has a crisis of conscience and turns to Al to help him escape a bad situation. A task which his monstrous companion is uniquely qualified for. In a violent altercation, Derrek is left on the run and goes to the police who place him in witness protection. However, the Family he betrayed has now become something far worse and it's only a matter of time before they catch up to him.
