Lydecker's manhunt for Vogelsang's killer puts Max on too many "most wanted" lists. Meanwhile, a stray bullet lodged in Logan's spine leaves him near death, forcing his protégée to make a decision that could save his life, but end her own.

Logan recruits Max to guard a Federal witness who can nail Mayor Steckler, only to find that the man in need of protection is a face from their not-so-distant---and very painful---pasts. But keeping the guy safe proves deadly as a corps of superhuman soldiers steps in to take care of Steckler's business.
