Shooting a man with a police woman’s gun to save her daughter’s life reveals Thorn is living in New York City. Locals seek revenge against him as others around the globe who identify Thorn want him killed for past actions against them while he served with the US military. Thorn evades local “wannabes” looking to make names by beating him up, and then learns of more serious firepower seeking him from FBI Special Agent Bernise Cruz, who he is being investigated by. The second team is not so easily “evaded,” and between his injuries and possible forensic traces, Thorn is running out of chances. Then a team of merciless cartel killers stalks Thorn through Fort Tryon Park and threatens the citizens of Washington Heights.
