answer. Too many high profiles are attached to this new high-security tower.
Across town, three men are found butchered. They are all members of a drug group. With each of these killings Villani’s job becomes more difficult.
Villani is also battling personal demons. His marriage is falling apart; his teenage daughter has run away to the drug addled streets he is trying to clean up. His father is fighting a raging bushfire against the family property and large forest Villani and his dad lovingly planted many years ago.
