Some debts are paid in blood. John 'Reaper' Kane had already paid a heavy price-forced to kill the son of a notorious St. Louis mob boss, he craved a fresh start.

On one side, hardened ex-military operatives fighting to control a town run from afar; on the other, the relentless Diego family hell-bent on revenge. And just when the chaos seemed unending, the arrival of Ray 'Knocker' Jensen turns the heat up even further.

For Kane, every choice could be his last.
