Damian Blake is a field surgeon who saves lives by day and hides those the system overlooks from violence by night. He has hands capable of suturing a temporal artery in a shaking truck, and a heart that still holds conversations with his dead wife. He raised two children in a former wine cellar without windows — because he knows how those who sleep too quietly get taken. His house is a sanctuary with a basement where he only houses the most important people, and tattooed on his wrist is not his wife's name, but a cardiac arrest protocol. Damian wears five identical t-shirts, can't brew coffee, but reads tracks on asphalt better than any detective. He stopped believing in justice long ago — and created his own: illegal, dangerous, but functional. And above all, he's terrified that one day he won't hear his children breathing — and then all his scars, protocols, and victories won't matter in the slightest.
