Peter Caine is abducted by a rogue Shaolin seeking revenge against his father, Kwai Chang Caine. While Peter endures unimaginable psychological torment and physical torture designed to shatter him, Caine rallies family and friends, including Paul Blaisdell, Kermit, and Lo Si, to mount a desperate rescue. Though they succeed in bringing him home, Peter is left haunted—his body battered and his spirit scarred—as he struggles to confront the deep trauma and the aftermath of his captivity. Amid the pain, the unwavering love and support of those closest to him become his lifeline in a battle to reclaim himself.

In Shambhala, Caine is charged with crimes against humanity. If found guilty, he faces eternal banishment. His advocate, Kermit, has his hands tied, not only with trying to prove Caine's innocence, but honoring Caine's demand to keep everything from Peter.
