A Dance with Darkness in the City of Light
In the neon-drenched landscape of Las Vegas, where vices are celebrated and secrets are currency, Kyle "Grave" King moves like a shadow through his own life. As one of the infamous Kings who inherited the powerful empire called Kingdom, he commands respect and fear in equal measure. Behind the pulsing lights of their exclusive nightclub lies a sprawling criminal enterprise-underground fighting rings, high-stakes gambling, and enough designer drugs to keep Grave permanently numb. His customized Dodge Challenger screams through desert streets at dawn while he races for pink slips worth hundreds of thousands, seeking the next adrenaline rush that might make him feel something, anything. But beneath his carefully constructed facade of indifference lies a man haunted by loss, yearning for connection even as he pushes everyone away. What happens when a man who courts death daily suddenly finds something-someone-worth living for?
