Marcus Graves is a 24-year-old drug dealer for the rich and famous.
In a city where dreams are currency and souls are collateral, Marcus was supposed to be a lawyer. Instead, he's L.A.'s most coveted high-ticket cocaine courier and a Mexican cartel's golden boy-servicing Hollywood's elite with chemical courage and temporary salvation.
But when his volatile partner, the tortured and impulsive Buddy, loses $168,000 worth of cartel product on a drunken night out in the city, Marcus is given a deal: recover or match the lost stash by sunrise, or become another forgotten headline in the City of Angels.
What follows is a nightlong descent through the underworld that made him: sociopathic club owners, off-kilter trust fund freaks, cartel triggermen, and an old friend who knew him before his client list resembled a Deadline article and the product came shrink-wrapped.
Every deal. Every betrayal. Every second counts.
As the hours burn and the noose tightens, Marcus is forced to confront what he's really running from-and if there's anything left in him worth saving.
