- sabotage
- Jax

- planned
- operation,
- Jax
- not
- only
- escapes
- but

- a
- new
- identity.

- there,
- he
- takes
- on
- the
- role
- of
- "God's
- Winged
- Avenger."

- himself
- up
- as
- judge,
- jury

- executioner
- puts
- Jax
- on
- the
- path
- to
- hell.It
- is
- only
- when
- Jax
- finds
- love
- again
- that
- he
- is
- able
- to
- turn
- away
- from
- thoughts
- and
- acts
- of
- revenge.
