Lawrence has spent a decade inside a psychiatric hospital after a violent episode he barely remembers. In that time his father died, and his mother Sarah became chairwoman of the Su Group, Cloud City's richest conglomerate. Now twenty-two and finally released, he boards a bus home with one plan: visit his father's grave.
That plan dies fast. A woman named Lilith and her family pick a fight over his laptop, and when he refuses her son, she smashes it and calls her husband Thorne to beat him. Lawrence, a former Sanda champion, fights back and wins — but Lilith's last card is worse than fists. She claims to be Sarah's cousin, and the Su Group's security team answers to her. Lawrence has to reach his mother before the woman wearing his family's name buries him again.
