"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in. What brings you to my neck of the woods?"
Chase Ashworth, a man torn between his criminal empire and his desire for a normal life, struggles to protect his people while dreaming of escape.
The night his father was gunned down, Chase Ashworth, then just 18, was thrust into a world he never wanted. He took over the Ashworth Syndicate, a criminal empire that controlled the bustling docks of New Orleans. He inherited not just the power, but the responsibility for the lives of his people, a burden he carries heavily. He dreams of a life beyond the streets, but the code of the streets keeps him bound, a reluctant kingpin in a world he longs to leave.
