Who decides what’s best for Alaskans? Mandates from on high, for the greater good. Reduce violence. Eliminate hunger. Save the people by dehumanizing them. Make them dependent. Take the citizens' voice. Remove their claws. Cory Beringer’s old man took him to Rhodesia to fight as a mercenary when the boy was thirteen. Who does that? Someone who believes when society falls, it won’t be a catastrophic train wreck.

Ian and Jenny Bragg are rich, but they’re nothing like members of the billionaire’s club. They answer to a higher authority. Governments fear them while wanting their influence. Billionaires are rich enough to avoid public scrutiny. They only appear when they want, in the way they want. Essoe Cavindish is the billionaire playboy that romance stories love to portray. He has a dark secret, even though it’s public, but no one talks about it. He destroys the lives of young women who wander into his inner circle.

It’s a race against the clock to dismantle a group that’s been in place for years. They’re well-funded, too, and armed with weapons they shouldn’t have. Authorities are stymied. Ian and Jenny Bragg are not so constrained. It’s supposed to be a single target. What if the target may not be the target at all, but a pipeline to those who deserve what Ian Bragg has to offer? In an organization like the Peace Archive, contracts tend to take on a life of their own. When it comes to imparting justice, the operators become the last line of defense with only one chance to get it right.

Ian Bragg remembered his first hit when he had little experience. He didn’t wish that on others. It would expose them. It would put the Peace Archive at risk. In the outskirts of Atlanta, Ian and Jenny bring together a select group of operators, loyal and dedicated, to train on a live contract. Winner takes home the big prize – a million dollars, tax-free. The others get a payout based on the ingenuity of their engagement because the Peace Archive won’t tolerate losers. They drive everyone to be better than they were the day before. In the real world, every contract is a challenge.

Ian and Jenny Bragg are called to a meeting by those who are paid to deliver justice. Some call them assassins. Others call them hitmen. Ian knows them as operators. Market share is about taking business from others. A zero sum game. The Peace Archive is growing, and it’s making the wrong people uncomfortable.
