The cruel hand of destiny forced Nigel Rupert Sutherland to face up to the violence of a world he did not know existed. He was dying and did not have long to live, but when he falls in love with Rachael, a trainee nurse, he is faced with a dilemma. Does he try and rid the world of three evil, murderous gangsters before he dies, or turn a blind eye to the atrocities he witnessed them committing, and live out his days with the woman he loves? It is a decision that could cost him dear.
