Thriller

FBI Agent Andrew "Andy" Hale, a man of cold precision and solitary lifestyle, is sent to the seemingly peaceful town of Cedar City, Utah, plagued by unexplained kidnappings. But the town's calm facade is deceptive - residents are fearful and guarded, and the local sheriff's reports are incomplete. As Andy digs deeper with his loyal dog Tommy by his side, he uncovers a disturbing secret: a network called "The Circle" involved in kidnappings and trafficking, with possible ties to an FBI mole. A violent confrontation ensues, but Andy's toughest battle is confronting the emptiness of his own life, leaving him to wonder - is there more to life than the job?

Twelve years ago, Devon Hayes lost everything because of three things: A hit-and-run. A lie. And a father who handed him over to the police to protect his own son. Now, after more than a decade behind bars, Devon walks free; older, harder, and carrying the kind of silence only prison can carve into a man. All he wants is to disappear into the quiet rhythm of a mechanic’s shop on the edge of Ridgefield, the town that destroyed his life. But fate has other plans. When his friend from prison suddenly got him a better paying job at a vineyard, he met a man who picked an interest in him because he looked like his late son. And to butter him up for the wrong hand he was dealt in the past, he found out they were related. His late mother was the estranged daughter of the man. Now, he had a new name, and a new fate, and now, he could get his revenge.

They went to war as soldiers. They came back as brothers. But when the system they fought for betrays them, loyalty becomes their last weapon. Echo Unit was built from broken men — a reluctant captain, a rebellious sergeant, a quiet strategist, a wisecracking soul, and a young recruit with everything to prove. Together, they form one of the most lethal special operations teams in modern warfare. Deployed into a war that no longer makes sense, Echo Unit faces the brutality of combat and the corruption festering inside their own command. When a mission turns into a massacre and the truth is buried, they are marked as traitors and forced to survive behind enemy lines — abandoned, disavowed, and hunted. But in the smoke and blood of a collapsing system, brotherhood becomes their only compass. Each man must face his own demons — guilt, fear, betrayal — while holding the line for the only thing that still feels pure: each other. Years later, when the truth threatens to resurface, the surviving brothers reunite for one last mission — not for orders, not for glory, but for honor. From the trenches of betrayal to the ashes of redemption, Iron Bonds is a powerful tale of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable strength of men who refused to die forgotten. It’s not just a war story. It’s a story about what survives after the war.
