Storia
When a seemingly straight-forward drug deal goes awry, XXXX has to break his die-hard rules and turn up the heat, not only to outwit the old regime and come out on top, but to save his own skin...
Riassunto
A seemingly straightforward drug deal spirals out of control, forcing XXXX to shatter his cardinal rules and navigate a treacherous underworld where loyalties shift like sand. With two million pounds' worth of Grade "A" ecstasy on the line, he's tasked by Mafia boss Jimmy Price with finding Charlie Ryder, the missing heiress daughter of powerful construction magnate Eddie Temple. But as XXXX digs deeper, he's ensnared in a web of double-crossings, brutal Serbian gangsters, and an international drug ring that threatens to consume him. Amidst this high-stakes game, he grapples with an unexpected love interest, Tammy, further complicating his plans for early retirement. Time is running out, and the penalty for failure could last a lifetime. With no codes or families to rely on, XXXX must draw upon all his savvy, wit, and skills to survive this ultimate last job.
