In this new story, Jake's friend, New York City Detective Richie Simone, is accused of murdering a Chinatown madam, and Jake pulls out all stops to prove his friend's innocence. He soon discovers Simone is being framed by a corrupt police official aided by a notorious Chinese gangster. Unsure of whom to trust, Jake and Tommy Shoo, work to uncover and the expose the truth about the murder. But proving Simone's innocence is more difficult and dangerous than Jake expected. Matters become more complicated when Jake must take on a challenging drug case, and save a young single mother from a long prison term. Together Tommy and Jake formulate a plan to save their client and put an infamous drug dealer out of business. But success comes with a high price causing Jake to question his actions.
