His vision of the world is one that is more beautiful and full of hope than the rest of us can see. In searching for a purpose, a reason to live, he discovers Isabelle, whose father died in the plague, and who has recently been thrown out to live in the streets by her uncle. When the two meet, a spark is lit between them. But another spark is lit—one that’s sure to lead to explosive consequences—when U runs afoul of a crime syndicate that will stop at nothing to get revenge.
