Navy Master Chief James Bradbury doesn't remember anything before his adoption by the family of a Georgia county Sheriff. After serving twenty years as a Master At Arms in the Navy, he puts his police knowledge to use and opens his own single man bounty hunter operation.
He travels through the country trying to find information about his past while bringing those trying to escape the law to justice.
Asked to track down and apprehend a Georgia businessman accused of murdering his wife and children, Bradbury slowly begins to realize that the warrior bloodline he inherited from his birth parents is flowing through him more than anyone can understand.
When he locates Dan Escrow, the businessman he must bring in to stand trial, he learns that the man he is hunting may know more about Bradbury's past than he himself knows.
