PAYBACK
meets COLLATERAL meets the mean streets of Atlanta, Sergeant Malcolm
Hobbs and his X-Men Homicide Squad in this tale of suspense
In the dead of night, an Atlanta neighborhood erupts
in sudden violence and introduces a new case file for Sergeant Malcolm Hobbs
and his elite X-Men Homicide Squad. This investigation exposes evidence that
takes on an extremely personal note for the X-Men when the identity of the
victims are Harold Castle and Lamont Hendricks, tough but respected members of
the Atlanta Police Department’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit or NEU.
Meantime, Fabrice Mousassi is an ex-con in town with a
few days to kill some crooks. With no honor among these thieves, he needs to
settle the score and right the wrong done to him and his partner-in-crime,
Julianna Delacroix. They don’t want the entire $25 million; they didn’t earn
that. They only want the share that they did earn. No one will stop them from
getting what’s theirs. Not their former colleagues, not the police and not
anyone else who dares to challenge the Mousassi-Delacroix team. No one.
The head-on collision between the unstoppable forces
of Team Mousassi-Delacroix and the immovable objects of the X-Men Homicide
Squad is inevitable and something has to give. The intensity of these entities
and the connections they reveal with the seedy sides of Atlanta’s criminal
underworld spurs the pursuit for revenge and its multimillion-dollar payday on
one side and justice to solve the crimes in the swiftest manner possible on the
other.
However for Hobbs in particular, this maze reignites
still healing wounds from his painful past that may finally explode and
eventually lead to his professional and personal disintegration.
