In the shadowy underbelly of New York City, Matt Scudder, the retired detective with a penchant for whiskey and existential musings, finds himself drawn into a tangled web of crime and morality. When reports surface about a group of vigilantes taking justice into their own hands, Scudder is both intrigued and unsettled. As he navigates the streets he knows so well, he realizes that the lines between right and wrong are becoming increasingly blurred.
The mystery deepens when Scudder investigates the disappearance of a young woman linked to the recent surge of violent retribution. Each new clue unravels a darker side of the human psyche, challenging Scudder's beliefs and instincts. With his characteristic grit and determination, he must confront not just the culprits but also the demons of his past as he races against time to uncover the truth, all while wrestling with the haunting notion that sometimes, even the devil himself may have a point.
