In the flickering shadows of Fifth and Burnside, Alyssa is a prisoner of a life she never chose. Controlled by the ruthless Damion King and trapped in a cycle of addiction and fear, her existence is measured in dingy hotel rooms and the weight of hands that aren't her own. But when the blue lights of a police raid shatter the gloom, Detective Evans offers a precarious chance at salvation. Now caught between the monsters who own her and the law that seeks to use her, Alyssa must navigate a treacherous urban landscape where every choice has a price. In a city that swallows the broken, she must decide if she has enough fight left to reclaim her name—or if she is simply trading one cage for another.
