Publisher's summary

The old man is home from years away fighting in that distant, useless, and dirty war. He is haunted by his demons from “over there”, his drug-addicted wife and the children he never wanted. It was all her fault…his drinking, no job, and those kids were constant reminders of worthless, weak years. Difficult years pass and have hardened both children, Roger and his older sister Alle. Even that simple routine of horrible has finally come to an inevitable end and change. Change is chaos. Cascading events leave Roger homeless, and utterly alone.

Fast forward three years to a young woman Roger saves by doing the right thing, ending up with a child he can call his own. A fresh start, a pure start he can and has to make exception to.

Inevitably, Roger is approached by an old acquaintance that has expressed interest in him and the abilities he obviously learned from his father. Roger is granted the opportunity to become a member of newly developed Deviance Squad, “Hunt and Kill” units that were created to eliminate everything insidious and rotten in society. Roger now can clean-up for his son as well as keep the demons at bay, as with every action, there is cleansing.

With his kill team by his side, Roger may finally have the chance to make things right for not only his son, but for himself as well, but in doing so, he discovers how deep the rotten core of everything is.

Will his past, no matter how impossible, come reaching out for him?
