Los Angeles, 1990s. Pagers buzz. Fax machines whine. VHS tapes rewind. And bodies hit the pavement. Wilshire isn't your average private security firm-it's a corporate death squad with clients in high places and blood on every ledger line. Their motto? No loose ends. Akira is one of Wilshire's finest-razor-sharp, foul-mouthed, and surgical with a katana. But when a high-profile hit goes sideways, she finds herself betrayed, burned, and hunted by the very machine she helped build. She tries to flip the script-blackmail, leverage, all of it. Bad call.

Los Angeles, 1990s. Pagers buzz. Fax machines whine. VHS tapes rewind. And bodies hit the pavement. Wilshire isn't your average private security firm-it's a corporate death squad with clients in high places and blood on every ledger line. Their motto? No loose ends. Akira is one of Wilshire's finest-razor-sharp, foul-mouthed, and surgical with a katana. But when a high-profile hit goes sideways, she finds herself betrayed, burned, and hunted by the very machine she helped build. She tries to flip the script-blackmail, leverage, all of it. Bad call. Wilshire answers with their most infamous cleaner: The Butcher-a ghost, clinical, merciless. No one sees her coming. No one survives long enough to describe her face. The blood trail leads across oceans-from L.A.'s underbelly to the cobbled streets of Rome-where past sins, sacred blood, and personal ghosts collide beneath a foreign sky. Now Akira's off the grid and off the leash, cutting through corruption to protect what little she has left. She'll need allies she can't trust, favors she hasn't earned, and a pain threshold most people don't survive. This isn't about redemption. It's about revenge with style. One thing's for sure... BLOOD WILL FLOW.
