As Jack strives to piece together the mystery under the threatening growl of his empty stomach, his reliance on experience and muscle memory is tested against the silent whispers of danger lurking at every corner. 
  Encountering a bizarre mix of fake lawmen and shadowy figures, Jack must discern ally from enemy as deception layers upon deception. A hidden bullet and a disturbing realization that his backup might not be what it seems force Jack to question the very ground he stands on. 
  Facing echoes of laughter that conceal deadly intentions and piercing eyes that hold secrets, Jack knows one misstep could silence him forever. As he immerses himself in an early morning dash for truth and survival, breakfast plans at Nick’s Cafe morph into a nerve-straining game of cat and mouse that could lead Jack deeper into the heart of darkness. 
  Prepare for a heady plunge into the noir world of trust and betrayal, where one man's quest for clarity becomes a twisted dance with fate, in *Seven of Spades - Part 2*, where nothing is as it seems and every shadow hides a story just waiting to be unmasked.
