It crosses all sense of fair play in depicting the world of the killers intruding into the world of decent peoples.Coming from totally different back grounds the trio find they are connected in some strange and bizarre way to each other. At first glance it is not very apparent. But as time flows the truth would come out. Though two of the three would never believe it.There is a strange and mysterious connection between Mario and some unseen force that alerts and advises him when things get dicey. It directs him in many ways to do the impossible and allows him to work out many violent encounters with an unseen helping hand. All because he listens and follows the edicts of the unknown force.There are eleven chapters. Each chapter having a complete quest from the start till the end. Basically, a composition or series of stories depicting the journeys the trio embark upon.
