Synopsis

If you make a deal with the Devil, don't forget to read the fine print. Three operatives find themselves on the run after a corporate sabotage job goes awry. Now, their predatory employer, a heavyweight weapons-tech firm, wants its elite A-team dead at all costs. Jon is a smooth-talking charmer. Friedrich is a hacker prodigy. And Guion is the ice-cold tactician who keeps them all in line. Backs against the wall, the men strike separate infernal pacts to stay alive. They vanish into the urban badlands of New York's Five Hives, vowing to lie low and figure out why they've become targets. Meanwhile, Jon suspects there's an insidious evil possessing his friends, and he wonders if they all got more than they bargained for. Amid an escalating war between local gangs and the firm's private shock troops, the fugitives uncover a conspiracy that threatens to destroy everyone they know and love. But can they stop the destruction before their inner demons seize control?
