A brother on the run. A gangster consumed by ambition. Can C.T. Ferguson survive long enough to reunite a family?
Hacker turned private investigator C.T. Ferguson sees a lot of himself in his teenaged client. Brian needs to find his older brother Chris, missing along with his girlfriend Anna. C.T. learns Chris was into programming and wrote ransomware that would be potent in the wrong hands.
Alberto Esposito is back in Baltimore and wants to take over organized crime. His goal is to modernize, and he's focused on Chris and his ransomware--a program he hired Chris to write. He's determined to find Chris and doesn't care who becomes collateral damage.
Just as C.T. thinks he has things figured out, Chris, Anna, and Brian all vanish. When a body turns up, the case descends into chaos. The aftermath forces C.T. to partner with the police against Esposito and his crew in a deadly showdown
