Despondent after his wife divorces him, Trace McCord, a modern-day bounty hunter, plunges from a pinnacle previously unknown in his profession and sort of attempts suicide. When the endeavor fails, he spends the next several months in a private hospital recovering from his injuries. While he heals, mentally and physically, he reminisces about his life through a series of flashbacks...growing up in Queens, New York--how he became a bounty hunter--fulfilling the legal requirements--the men he worked for and the men he hunted with--the fugitives he apprehended from coast to coast and in Europe--the women he loved--and the love he lost.
AND, how he became a legend.
