He has overcome his past to carve out a brilliant career on Wall Street. Bolden is a man who has it all. Untill, in the blink of an eye, his world is turned upside down.

Yet nothing is more shocking than the truth Bolden learns about the past and his own inevitable confrontation with the Patriots' Club.
