ROGUE

Rogue follows Cole, a former operative turned drifter, haunted by the violent death of the woman he loved.

Five years after walking away from the world that destroyed him, Cole is pulled back into a brutal network of organised crime, corruption, and covert operations,  where loyalty is currency and survival comes at a cost.

As powerful syndicates expand into London’s underworld, Cole is forced into a dangerous game between intelligence agencies and criminal empires, all while chasing the truth behind the past that still owns him.
