In the rain-soaked mountains of Patagonia, a soldier codenamed Bones cradles his dying comrade Abrahm. Breaking protocol, he reveals his true name-Bradshaw-as Abrahm bleeds out from a fatal gunshot wound. Their mission has gone catastrophically wrong because Rit Squad never appeared at the checkpoint. As Abrahm's life slips away, something fundamental shifts within Bradshaw-vengeance takes root, a darkness that will define him for years to come. Two years later, Nell Gallows boards a flight to California, anxious about her reassignment to Malum squad after surviving a mission that killed her entire previous team, Rit Squad. On the plane, she finds herself seated between twin brothers-the friendly Eren and his cold, scarred brother Bradshaw. After awkwardly falling onto Bradshaw during turbulence, Nell is struck by his icy demeanor and striking appearance-pale blue eyes and facial scars that tell stories of violence. Their paths cross again at a nightclub where their chemistry ignites into an intense one-night stand. Their encounter is passionate and primal, but the next morning brings a shocking revelation: Bradshaw is "Bones," the infamous operative she'll be working with on her new squad.
