And he has only days to figure out who or he will die. And then there's the ghosta young boy who appears on the fringes of Joe's vision and seems to be trying to tell him something. Racing against time and fate Joe hurtles through a violent yet intoxicating world on the brink of total collapse or epic triumph a world on the cusp of reinvention and rebirthwhere the old codes the old sins and the old dreams may soon be swept away once and for all.
