Noel Ashman grows up in a troubled household; after his mother abandons him, his abusive father perishes in a mysterious fire. Despite his bitter childhood, he gathers strength from his friends and moves on, working his way into the ranks of NYPD’s finest. But as he dons his badge and uniform, his past creeps closer than ever through a series of jewel heists–with each diamond stolen shining light on the secrets he hides from those closest to him.
