Jack "The Man" Manthorne is a wild card. In all his years as a detective for the Cambridge Police Department, he has never had a partner. Never wanted one; never needed one. But Jack's temper and hair trigger have left more property damaged than recovered and more bodies than files in closed cases. When a crime so shocking it leaves Cambridge reeling and its citizens questioning their identity, Cheif of Police Alec "The Baron" Lebarren takes it personally. Motivated by justice and looking for revenge, Lebarren decides to fight fire with fire, forcing Manthorne into a partnership with an ultimatum.
