Ishmael Toffee has killed more men than he can remember. His knife put him behind bars and kept him there for twenty years as a prison gang assassin until he lost his taste for blood. Paroled, he finds himself with no money and no family. And no knife in his hand.
He gets a job as a gardener at the luxurious home of a prominent lawyer and makes an unexpected friend — Cindy, the lawyer's six-year-old daughter. When Ishmael discovers that Cindy is being raped by her father, he must choose: abandon the girl and walk away, or do what he does best...
On a knife-edge.
