Tasked with unraveling the books and uncovering the truth, he starts working alongside the clerk who detected the financial irregularities.
Meanwhile, the Treasury's investigation intensifies, and Christian's past comes back to haunt him, revealing a complicated upbringing involving harsh military training administered by his father after his mother abandoned them. As Christian gets closer to the financial truth within the robotics company, bodies begin to pile up, and he must employ his other considerable skills to protect himself and those around him. Relationships evolve and unexpected connections emerge, causing a series of revelations that begin to unravel the mystery shrouding Christian's shadowy clientele and his own troubled history.
