Twenty years ago, Carter “Stacks” Coleman was torn from the only home he ever knew. His father sent him across the ocean to London, chasing a clean life and leaving his little sister behind in the streets of Los Angeles. Carter never forgave him for that. Now he’s back — a soldier fresh off a foreign war, carrying ghosts in his chest and scars on his soul. The city that raised him has changed: the Mob’s fallen apart, the Cartel runs half the corners, and the other half bleeds for scraps. The codes are gone, the loyalty’s fake, and the name “Coleman” don’t mean what it used to.
