Synopsis[]

Reese's cover job as a detective at the NYPD becomes complicated when the young brother and sister he's protecting become targets of a gang investigation.

Origin of the Title[]

While the title refers ostensibly to the name of the gang in the story arc, it also serves to describe the relationship and the bond that has been created between Harold and Elias.
