The Price of Loyalty
Billy Stumps isn’t the role model Kick and Gunther believed him to be. He’s egotistical, manipulative, and willing to put his fans in harm’s way for the sake of entertainment. This revelation puts Kick and Gunther’s friendship to the test. Gunther, blinded by his admiration for Billy, becomes entangled in his web of lies and deceit.
