Aric grew up wild in the swamps of Louisiana with one goal in mind: To become a part of a 1% MC. The perfect choice, the New Orleans Jokers whose president Blackheart grew up with Aric's mother and helped her raise the wild child after his father deserted them. Blackheart gives Aric chance after chance to not screw up, and become a patched member of the club...but it would be his last chance that will change everything. A simple initiation, a joke really, will ignite a war between two rival clubs that will end lives for some and an entire era for others.
Gianna Lear grew up the daughter of the Mad Men's president, Lear. She loved her father, and thought of the rest of the men as family, but it was a life she hated and couldn't wait to escape. Gia happens to be at the Mad Men's bar the night of Aric's dangerous initiation. At first he amuses her, then he scares her, and then without either of them even noticing, he steals her heart.
Two worlds will collide in an inferno that will burn so hot that even as some look to the future and others live in the past, none will escape a present that will leave burns so deep and scars so thick that nothing will ever be the same again.
