What’s worse than being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Being the only person that can make it right.

Avgust
In a world that was crueler than it was kind, Avgust Kotov feared nothing. Groomed to take over the Russian Bratva since birth, his reputation was legendary and in no way exaggerated. He was both feared and respected, and his place within the organization was an honor well-earned. He was the nightmare that people told their children about, and he liked it that way.

Though used to doing things his way, when his family is being stalked by an unknown enemy, he finds himself coming face-to-face with a past that he’d rather forget. However, since the bratva never leaves any witnesses, he’s given the perfect opportunity to take revenge on a fifteen-year-old grudge, and he doesn’t hesitate to take it. After all, it’s not like him to let an enemy get away unscathed.

Samara
In a world that was crueler than it was kind, Samara Andreev has had her fair share of tragedy and heartbreak, though she still did her best to stay positive and thankful for her life. A hard worker and dedicated sister, all she wanted to do was live an uneventful life, and maybe find a good husband to have children with one day. That’s it, that’s all.

Though used to doing things her way, when she finds herself having to rescue her sister from a situation that could easily turn deadly, she’s left with no choice but to sacrifice herself for the greater good, even if that choice results in her walking straight into Hell without any help from anyone. After all, she knows better than anyone else just how badly the past can destroy your future.

When the past comes back to haunt you…
Fifteen years later, Avgust finally has a chance to exorcise all his old ghosts, and he doesn’t care if Samara Andreev deserves it or not. All he knows is that she’s back in his life after he’d warned her to never come near him again. So, this is all her fault when you really think about it.

Fifteen years later, Samara is right back where she started, but this time, she’s the enemy, though she’s not exactly sure why that is. All she knows is that Avgust Kotov is back in her life, and he’s no longer the boy that she used to know. So, it’s anybody’s guess as to what happens next.

While the plan had been to make Samara pay for her betrayal and fifteen years’ worth of resentment, things change when an unknown enemy decides to join in on the fun. Priorities quickly shift when Avgust decides that he won’t be making the same mistake twice.
