Max gets herself a sidekick after a pseudo-superhero calling himself the Street Sweeper strong-arms his way into a hunt for the person offing recently paroled felons. But when Logan uncovers his uncle's tie to the crimes, he fears the Cale family fortune could be nothing but blood money and must decide whom to trust. And whom to turn against.

On the anniversary of their meeting, Max's cat DNA sends her into heat, forcing her to bail on a date with Logan. Meanwhile, Lydecker and X play a game of cat and mouse with Max that puts her in harm's way and Manticore's top agent on his own boss's hit list.
