Ego Death

Briar had a clean shot. She zeroed her scope in on the bastard. If she pulled this off he'd end up with a bullet in the head and she'd walk away satisfied.

Then someone fucked it up.

After finding herself in the secret hideout of the Mad Dogs,Briar learns that botching her hit was actually a save. The saviors call themselves the Mad Dogs, vigilantes against the Jersey mafia. They've been watching and noticed her. Now they want her to join their main operations.

Their goals seem good enough, but Briar doesn't believe good guys knock you out and drag you off to a second location.

Between training under a stone-cold assassin, sharing lunches with a suspiciously kind sharpshooter, verbally sparring with a sarcastic spy, and gossiping with the ultimate exposer, Briar almost doesn't notice the machinations of the Co-founder of the Mad Dogs.

Almost.

***
In a world where the mafia held their Prohibition Era power until modern day, New Jersey lives in terror. People are getting shot on the streets, businesses are closing their doors, and it seems like everyone you know is partaking in something illegal.

Until last year that is. Until the day when The New Jersey Mafia suddenly went quiet. Citizens are thanking God(s) and calling it a miracle.

The truth?

It was the Mad Dogs.

And now Briar is apart of them.

And they're coming for each and every one of those motherfuckers.
