A rotten cabal ran the city of Chicago. The criminal underworld had become a swollen colossus— one that Darnell Harewood was devoted to taking down.

Only problem was that Darnell locked away on the Setley prison complex hidden on an unmapped island in Lake Michigan. One that changed the day the new warden arrived.

Warden Cassius Arnold was a slight man. He stood no taller than the average American and possessed no physical trait to inspire the type of dread that emanated from his subordinates when he drew near. He was a man as stiff as his iron grey crew cut and spoke with a voice that could have heralded the apocalypse. Even in those that towered over him in height, he could look down upon. Darnell was the only person on the island happy to see him. But then again, family reunions can be like that.
