The world that Mike Pettit has created is filled with exceedingly ruthless and cruel people who will not only steal but also kill, just for the adrenaline that comes with it; dark places that normal individuals will never attempt to go, unless they are dragged in.

When we meet John Locke, he lives in Los Angeles, where he works at the holding cells and the courthouse as well, trying to find clients who may need the services of a lawyer.

The ten years that John Locke spent in a bottle, in turn left him with a marriage that he barely remembers anything about and a promising legal career in the sewer. It is less than three months, since he returned to the human race, residing in a three-roomed apartment and surviving purely on Chinese takeout. To remain in the legal field, John Locke is forced to chase the bottom feeder cases. To bring in a few extra bucks, John Locke also doubles up as a part time sleuth for a bail bond friend. He not only makes his rent but he also clears his bills while looking for a way out. It does not take long before John finds his way out, when he witnesses a killing that ultimately sucks him into the exceedingly dark and black places.
