Change the world with a bullet. It's 1987 and homeless teenager Marcus Lopez Arguello has no reson to keep living. Until one fateful evening he is approached by a mysterious girl who invites him to join Kings Dominion Atelier of the Deadly Arts, a brutal, clandestine high school, where the world's top crime families send the next generation of assassins to be trained. Murder is an art, killing is a craft and the dagger in your back is no metaphor.
