- Synopsis
- Meet Leo, who can plan the perfect heist... but only if he can be convinced the job is safe enough. Leo is not a shoot-first think-later guy; Leo is a professional. But to some criminals, even professionals, the right payout is worth almost any risk. So when an old friend and a crooked cop approach with a plan to seize millions of dollars in contraband from an evidence transport van, Leo must make tough choices, knowing there's nothing you can trust less in this world than a cop on the take.

Indexer Notes
The indicia information is located on the inside front cover, which is the title page of the story itself. The inside front cover and first page of the comic is a two-page spread of the title of the story. I've decided these two pages are components to the entire story.
