Summary

Gerbil is on the warpath after being seriously injured in a drive by shooting. What followed next takes the feud to another level of violence and the police searching for answers.

This time, however, innocents are caught in the crossfire and detectives have to employ all the tricks in the book to catch those responsible. The lid is lifted on the murky world of hitmen for hire.
