John Milton is a former assassin for the British government. He is a
ronin, trying to atone for his past sins by offering his services to
those people who have no one else to whom they can turn.
Milton is keeping a low profile in London when he meets Eddie Fabian.
Fabian confesses that he is considering suicide and that the reason for
his depression was the abuse that he suffered as a child. Milton offers
to help, but, before he can, Eddie is found dead in circumstances that
Milton considers suspicious. And then events take a turn that no one
could have anticipated....
Milton's attempted good deed becomes a quest to unveil corruption at the
highest levels of government and murder at the dark heart of the
criminal underworld. Milton is pulled back into the game, and that's
going to have serious consequences for everyone who crosses his path.
