Successful entrepreneur Matthew Burton is having the worst day of his life. The deal of a lifetime flops, his own board is trying to sack him and his daughter wants him cancelled. But things are about to get much, much worse.
Investigative journalist Tamara Morgan thinks she’s on the brink of bringing down a corrupt politician, but her nose is leading her to something much bigger. And much more dangerous.
At a party at the Sydney Opera House, Burton mistakenly picks up a thumb drive intended for Tamara naming those responsible for the collapse of a newly built fifteen-storey apartment block that killed twenty-six residents. Suddenly, corrupt politicians, drug dealers and hired thugs all want Burton and Tamara silenced, for good.
Burton’s a businessman, not an investigator. He’s never even held a gun. But the untrained, outgunned and overwrought Matthew Burton discovers that there is one thing he has a natural aptitude for - causing carnage. 
If Burton can just accept Tamara’s help, they both might get out of this alive.
