The conclusion to the All for the Game series, ties up the whole story and characters with a nice bow. Neil gets his well-deserved freedom (of sorts), as happy an ending as any Fox could ask for.

The conclusion to the All for the Game series sees Neil and Andrew taking their relationship to a physical level. The truth about Neil’s background comes out—as the son of the “Butcher of Baltimore” along with his connections to the Moriyamas. Neil is kidnapped by his father, and is tortured/heavily injured—he is rescued, however, and his father is killed. This allows for Ichirou (of the head Moriyama branch) to take over Neil’s contract and give him a shot at freedom.
