Chev Chelios
is about to begin his morning with an unexpected wake-up call.
Groggy, practically unable to move and with a heart that’s
barely beating, Chev answers his cell phone and hears the
voice of thug Ricky Verona, who reveals Chev has been poisoned
in his sleep and has only an hour to
live.
As
it turns out, Chev is a hit man who freelances for a major
West Coast crime syndicate. And a run of the mill job the
night before that was supposed to be like any other hit went
unexpectedly awry: Chev let his target go in an effort to quit
the professional killing business and start a new life with
his girlfriend Eve.
Now, Chev must keep moving – literally –
to stay alive. The only way to prolong the poison from stopping
his heart is to keep his adrenaline flowing. As the clock ticks, Chelios
cuts a swath through the streets of Los Angeles, wreaking havoc on those who
dare stand in his way. He must rescue Eve from danger, stay two steps
ahead of his nemeses as they try to eliminate him, and search for an antidote to
save his own life.
