Street racer Bronze is killed in an accident that shouldn't have happened and leaves a legacy behind: his pregnant girlfriend who disappears, his best friend who might be next, an old man obsessed with fire, a mysterious outdoorsman rumored to be raised by wolves, and a syndicate boss who doesn't want to face the truth.
Seven months later, the streets of Raymond still feel the loss of Bronze like a fresh wound. Mercedes, the syndicate boss, struggles to handle the resulting consequences. Law enforcement agencies are tightening their grip on his illegal empire from all directions, yet the greatest danger might come from within. When Taboo, the racer Bronze had been competing against when he died, begins clawing his way to the top, destruction and chaos follow in his wake. Blinded by addiction and his police-officer ex-boyfriend, Mercedes can't-or won't-see the threat.
Arctic is the only one who knows the truth about what happened the night Bronze died. But to stop Taboo, he'll have to confront the darkness of his past and conquer his demons before anyone else becomes a victim. The winter racing events are the crew's final opportunity to thwart Taboo's schemes before he destroys the entire syndicate.
