SHADOW BALLET

Betrayal

"I'm trapped. They want my blood. They want my head.
I feel a rat crawling on my corpse. The blood on my skin... I can smell the soil. There is a song in my ears, disturbing the silence of the forest with its insolence. It is not your beautiful voice. I want to cover my ears, but I cannot move."

Jerry opens his eyes in a cell, accused of the murder of the most feared gangster in Atlantic City: his father.
On his way to jail, Jerry erupts with a thirst for vengeance, but whoever set him up placed a large bounty on his head. Bounty hunters, police, and detectives on the payroll are after him. Surviving the night is no easy feat—and he doesn’t. Jerry is shot.
A beautiful prostitute, Lin, finds him and shelters him. However, she has no idea who Jerry is or the trouble he brings with him.
Jerry tears apart the underground world, sacrificing his love and destroying the family he desperately longs for. But only much too late does he realize:

She was his family. She was his salvation. She was his hell.
