Has he stumbled on a sinister conspiracy? A mysterious stranger fans the flames but Sam isn't sure who he can trust anymore. If only he could retreat into his favorite diversion, the fictional world of super spy, Victor Nil. But unfortunately for Sam, the life lessons of his fictional hero won't help him face the indifferent forces that shape the real world.
