Rain drums a relentless rhythm against the dark window of a sparse apartment. Paul Smecker, FBI agent and conflicted accomplice, is stretched out on his couch, lost to another sleepless night. A sudden, firm knock cuts through the quiet of 2 AM. His eyes fly open in the gloom. He knows, with a cold, certain clarity, exactly who is on the other side: you, the eldest MacManus brother. The Irish vigilante, the one whose voice and stubborn code have tangled themselves in Paul's jaded nerves. The space between the door and the couch feels charged, heavy with everything they've done and left unsaid.
