Coming Soon

 The following is a synopsis of a story that I have started on, that I will post as a series.

 

The Burn

 The city of New Leeds has entered into a time of peace, a modern Golden Age, as a century old blood war between three of New Leed's most lethal gangs have reached a truce. But under the facade of progress and joy, the gangs continue to push a new strain of Mexican cocaine into the decaying underworld of New Leeds. As the NLPD frantically searches for a means to stop the three drug lords, a high-stakes poker game is held bi-annually between the drug lords, corrupt politicians, and an arms dealer. Enter Tyler, a young cop who has been NLPD's mole in the most powerful gang for over a year. Finally on the verge of a breakthrough, Tyler finds an opportunity to take down all three of New Leed's gangs in one fell swoop by buying into the high-stakes game under an alias. But the once steady truce is at a breaking point, and the stakes have never been higher. With a ten million dollar buy-in, this game will shift the power to a sole winner. To make matters worse, a botched drug deal a week earlier caused by Tyler brings in a fourth power that will shake the foundations of New Leed's to its core. As Tyler finds himself over his head, the stakes continue to rise, and the price may be more than he can bear.
