Sven is your run-of-the-mill sweeper (a.k.a. bounty hunter) – down on his luck, haunted by the perpetual grumbling of his stomach and looking to make enough cash just to get by.

As Sven seeks to untangle that which binds Eve, Train seeks to unravel the past from the present. The former assassin’s sight must remain true to see this through to the end…
