Released from prison after serving twenty-two years, former hit man Sammy Ortega is looking to turn his life around by publishing a memoir that describes his life as a hit man in excruciating detail. Upon his release, however, his best friend, Ace, asks him to assist in robbing the stash houses and businesses that are run by Sammy's former bosses, the Zepedas family, a Puerto Rican crime syndicate that runs the drug trade out of the state of Delaware. Meanwhile, as Ortega is helping take down his former crew one by one, his memoir is rapidly climbing the New York Times Bestseller List. However, a shadow from his past will not let Sammy enjoy his success, for it will drag him back to the life he so desperately wants to escape.
