He thought it was over. After fighting his way out of a building filled with gangsters
and madmen – a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in
the halls – rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal
life. He couldn’t have been more wrong.
Formidable though they may have been, Rama’s opponents in that fateful building
were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond much larger than he ever dreamed
possible. And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the
predators farther up the food chain. His family at risk, Rama has only one choice
to protect his infant son and wife: He must go undercover to enter the criminal
underworld himself and climb through the hierarchy of competing forces until it
leads him to the corrupt politicians and police pulling the strings at the top of
the heap.
And so Rama begins a new odyssey of violence, a journey that will force him to set
aside his own life and history and take on a new identity as the violent offender
“Yuda.” In prison he must gain the confidence of Uco – the son of a prominent gang
kingpin – to join the gang himself, laying his own life on the line in a desperate
all-or-nothing gambit to bring the whole rotten enterprise to an end.
