A sad little man with no life at all decides to write a book about a fictional assassin. To gain experience and create material for his book, he stages a series of increasingly difficult assassinations...stopping just short of actually killing his victims.
This pits him against both the FBI and Scotland Yard as he successfully penetrates a high-security prison in the Midwest...and successfully targets over 300 VIP passengers aboard the Queen Mary 2.
His book becomes an overnight sensation, because it is in-effect a "how to" for would-be killers.
The video game that follows, takes it to a vastly higher level...spawning thousands of unsolved murders worldwide.
In less than five years, our sad little man has become extremely wealthy...and has become a sinister cult hero. Buoyed with total confidence, his next move is the most surprising of all.
