Privilege is a fragile shield when the debt comes due.

Liam Andover has it all: the family name, the trust fund, and a seat at the high table of Andover society. He also has a secret that is rotting him from the inside out. On "The Block," the city's most dangerous district, Liam isn't a golden boy?he's just another junkie owing a debt to Malik, a ruthless kingpin who accepts payment in only two forms: cash or blood.

Desperate to settle the score, Liam steals from the one man he fears most: his father, George Miller. But the theft triggers a domino effect that shatters the veneer of his family's respectability, revealing a legacy of white-collar crime deeper and darker than any street deal.

Caught in the crossfire is Jasmine, a struggling mother fighting a rigged system to regain custody of her son. She is Liam's only ally and his greatest liability. As Detective Chen closes in on Malik's empire and George's financial house of cards collapses, Liam faces an impossible choice. To save himself, he must destroy the woman he loves. To save her, he must become the criminal his father always feared he was.

In a city where the tide washes away everything but the truth, redemption has a price no one can afford.
