As a crime-syndicate triggerman, John exists amongst the very worst humanity has to offer: pimps, pushers, prostitutes, killers, and addicts of every kind, himself the lowest among them. After years of unquestioning obedience, he at last finds a line he won't cross. With the fate of an innocent in his hands, John struggles to find what separates beasts from men and the carefully constructed wall he has built inside himself begins to crumble.
