As the new president of San Tropolis, Henry Parsythe has a lot on his plate. There's still too much civil unrest in the township. Even though Check Mate has ended, the public still wants more. In a desperate attempt to get people on his side, Parsythe creates a time of Retribution. During this time, assassins will be allowed to go after former assailants who killed their loved ones on the cruel reality TV series.
The leader of the rebellious group of plotters has a personal connection to the show. Years ago, Darren's sister, Becky, was a victim of Check Mate. The idea of going after her assailant appeals to him, but there may be something more important for him to do.
It has been difficult to forget about his girlfriend's betrayal. He has been trying to make peace with Maria, but it hasn't been easy. Slowly but surely, it's beginning to feel more like old times. Still, can he resist the urge to go after his sister's murderer, or will he help Maria instead?
Whatever he decides, there's sure to be danger. In a township with assassins seeking to avenge their loved ones, some innocent bystanders may get caught up in their acts of vengeance. Will Darren be one of them?
