WORKS
Zane begins his life as Christian, a seventeen-year-old orphan who has been arrested for petty theft on the streets of Los Angeles. He is bailed out by a shadowy billionaire named Maxim who makes him a morally compromising offer. He will train the young man in the most advanced killing techniques, supply him with the most sophisticated armaments and pays him a substantial sum to take evil men off the board. Men who Maxim determines pose an unacceptable threat to the stability of mankind.
Since Zane has no real past, no family and bleak prospects for the future, agrees to this proposal and transforms himself into a lethal weapon with the help of former military experts. His missions take him to Mexico, Russia and the United States, culminating in an effort to remove a presidential candidate. He justifies his actions on the grounds that he is killing “evil men only.” This questionable moral justification is challenged when Maxim asks him to take out a business rival who is trying to gain control of several of his companies.
This man doesn’t fit the criteria for elimination, and Zane is forced to confront the extent to which he will compromise his already fragile moral code to accommodate Maxim’s directive.
It becomes a case of self-survival as Zane deliberately subverts the mission and has to accept the possibility that he himself will become a target of Maxim’s vengeance.
Zane faces two choices, as Maxim and the U.S. intelligence community begin to close in on him.
