Desperate to reconnect with his wife and estranged daughter Julie, he accepts the lifeline, not knowing just how dangerous the assignment will be. Faced with the endless twists and turns of attempted kidnappings, contract killings, shocking betrayals and a discovery of a crime syndicate, the body count rises but the real mastermind remains hidden. Embedded is a visceral journey into corruption, vengeance and one man’s fight to reclaim his name and reconnect with the people he loves.
