Ex-NYPD detective Dante Bartoli is caught in the struggle of a lifetime. Choosing to become a Manhattan moving man after his dead wife's unsolved murder, he discovers frozen human remains left by the psychotic Hackman. The ruthless deviant makes good use of Dante's unfortunate discovery by gaslighting the former cop into completing his lifelong vendetta against the moving company's boss, Nick.
Under intense pressure from the mayor, the PC and the media, Lt. Hernandez convinces Dante to help flush out the elusive villain. Hackman, on a fast track to destroy Nick then escape capture, begins stalking Dante and the police backup sting op while in his dead mother's disguise.
Detective partners Lola Lambert and Abraham McMurray join the stalled ongoing investigation. The long-smoldering sparks between Dante and Lola turn incendiary, challenging them both while they intimately clinging to each other. Anonymous letters about Tessa's murder appear adding more strain to Dante's already fragile emotional state.
Fighting off false leads and dead ends, a combination of Lola's tech smarts, clues from Dante's go-to cyber snoop, Houdini, and revelations Dante divines from a famous painting, inch them ever closer to nailing the elusive Hackman.
The vicious slayings of an undercover cop and a Lola lookalike spark a frantic and frenzied city chase during a stormy, area-wide blackout. An epic battle between Dante and Hackman ends in hand to hand combat atop one of New York's most distinctive landmarks — St. Patrick's Cathedral.
