How do you stop a killer when the victims are desperate to die?

Captain Ozzy Stone served four years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Now released to pick up the broken pieces of his life, the ex-soldier turned convict finds a nasty surprise waiting in his hometown: his former cellmate and mortal enemy, Roman Blade, working security at the BDSM club where Stone's just been hired as a bouncer.

Old rivalries flare, and the two are soon at each other's throats. But when a killer kidnaps a young woman who works at the club -- and someone's playing pin-the-blame on the ex-cons -- Stone and Blade are forced to work together to clear their names. Their reluctant partnership uncovers an organized network of voluntary death by torture, wrapped in a conspiracy that penetrates the top levels of the military.

And time is running out as they race to rescue a woman who doesn't want to be saved.
