New identity. New city. New job. New lover. A brand new life, leaving his violent past behind, until a single shot rings out late one chicago night...

Starting with only a cryptic message about an event from a century ago written in the blood of the woman he loved, Malcom Winters races around Chicago piecing together increasingly baffling parts of the puzzle in an effort to solve the crime and gain his vengeance. Together with the help of a brilliant and beautiful science professor, a gruff chef who claims to be in witness protection for trying to assassinate Fidel Castro, and a cross-dressing businessman, he uncovers a bizarre murder spree. Malcom draws the attention of the killer to himself and those few people he holds dear.
