Two parties; each with similar targets, but differing ideas for delivering consequences to those who hide under the law's banner.

Karma has found new proxies to hunt for thirst-quenching payback. Anything less than twelve deliveries designates one hunter's failure. While the second hunter feeds off the twelve to find a killer's roadmap.

Intentional meetings provide opportunity. One such meeting brings with it a twelve-event plan. Tag-teaming during preparations, a vigilante starts a solo adventure toward finding participants to fulfill the 'Twelve Sins of Retribution.'

Oscar Lloyd, long since having been removed from Karma's stable of hunters, fathered the initial sinner. His deeds created a revenge-seeking sinner, Ricky Topin. Topin's own sins, more momentous but still a failed quest for payback, resulted in his Karma Stable banishment?

Karma's newest vigilante hunter parallels a third quest with a high-profile case. Under the radar of distracted detectives, the plan appears genius. Until a family member of a Topin victim arrives in Los Ángeles for another of those intentional meet and greets. The need for revenge double-dips into the vigilante's pool of the yet to be punished, guilty accomplices.

Two sets of hunters roam the dark streets of the cement jungle, 'Reciprocating Karma' along the way. When the standoff occurs, which side remains in the Karma Stable?
