MARCUS REED, a hospital janitor looked down upon by everyone, is actually a former U.S. Marine Corps battlefield rescue hero. Five years ago, while serving overseas, he exposed a military medical contractor and a private hospital group for trafficking in relief supplies, only to be falsely accused of being a “coward who failed his mission.” He lost his military status, his honor, and his family.
Five years later, he works the night shift as a janitor at a top-tier private hospital in Chicago, solely to care for his daughter, Lily, who suffers from heart disease. Hospital executives, wealthy parents, and his famous doctor fiancé all treat him like trash. But time and again, in the face of crisis, Marcus uses his battlefield experience, medical first aid skills, tactical judgment, and veteran connections to put them in their place.
