Hope can be a prism of scars from which light shines. Twenty years ago, an infamous scientist created Liquid Onyx, a world-changing chemical which led to the rise of superheroes and supervillains. Jack Roth is not a superhero. He’s an assassin, a killer, a lethal weapon forged and controlled by the evil organisation Obsidian Inc. Leo Snow isn’t a superhero either. He's a British secret agent who spends his life protecting the world and saving everyone he can. When these two men’s lives collide on the streets of Danger City just as Obsidian Inc is gearing up for another cataclysmic scientific discovery, they’ll both need to reckon with their dark past, messy present and potentially hopeful future.

Our eyes are broken windows capable of using light to bring truth into focus. Some months ago, a ruthless assassin and a British secret agent met on a dark street in Danger City. One saved the other and, from this, new alliances were formed that have the potential to change everything. Jack Roth is caught in the liminal space between hero and villain, his every decision planted firmly in the grey. Leo Snow is a good man still desperately trying to make the right choices in a world that constantly forces him to question what that really means. Now, both men have been sent out on a rescue mission that will test the endurance of their new partnership, and the depth of their feelings for one another, as the past comes calling and the future casts shadows neither can escape.
