Everyone knows that the world is ruled by world leaders that decide upon matters for the millions that live under them. Economic policies are made, the declaration of war is readily decreed, and incursions into foreign lands to sabotage and spy runs amuck in their grand chess board.
They aren't the real leaders however. Behind the darkest veil a group of individuals sit above all others as they manipulate decisions and actions through thousands of pawns. Their eyes see everything, their influence is never ending. With their wealth and power, they have began to create agents that are bred to be loyal guard dogs. They kill, steal, assassinate, sabotage, frame, and various other courses of actions if they are ordered to do so.
One day, one such agent finds himself tasked with the assassination of a girl. Upon contact, past memories flash through his memories as the girl was one of his most treasured friends from a lifetime long past. Decided to spare her, he fights against the years of indoctrination that the influential shadow group drilled into his mind as he fights to regain control of himself and be free from their clutches and his objectives. As the two fight to stay alive, they struggle to survive various other operatives that are tracking the two while he's slowly losing his mind as his want for freedom struggles against the years of reeducation that he had endured. Slowly, he's losing control.
