As the Punisher wages a brutal winter campaign through New York, his past sins and a new, personal threat force him into a desperate confrontation that tests his code of vengeance. The collection includes issues #61-65 of the Punisher MAX series, written by Ennis with art by Goran Parlov and Leandro Fernández.

In "Long Cold Dark Part One," Frank Castle confronts the brutal truth when he discovers that the baby held by Barracuda is his own daughter, Sarah. Written by Garth Ennis and illustrated with raw intensity by Goran Parlov, this issue plunges the Punisher into a breaking point as rage and desperation collide. Cover by Tim Bradstreet captures the grim tension of a man pushed to the edge, with a hospital escape and a deadly game of survival just beginning.

As the Punisher learns that the baby in Barracuda's arms is his daughter, Barracuda threatens little Sarah with a knife and Frank goes insane, bursting his bonds and tearing into Barracuda. He wakes up in a hospital badly beaten and tells the police and the doctors that they need to let him go as Barracuda will break in and kill everyone. Barracuda gets patched up himself and is insane with rage as the Punisher has beaten him yet again. Frank escapes the hospital with the help of a doctor and makes plans on how to defeat Barracuda while saving his daughter's life.
