They call him The Kid.

He's a killer, a dark legend of the Southwest's urban badlands, a child who terrifies adults.

They speak of him in whispers in dive bars near closing time.

Some claim to have met him.

Others say he doesn't exist, a phantom blamed for every unsolved act of violence, a ghost who haunts every blood-splattered crime scene.

But he is real.

He's a young man with a love of cooking and reading, an abiding loneliness and an appetite for violence.

He is a cipher, a projection of the dreams and nightmares of people ignored by the economic boom .

and a modern-day outlaw in search of an ordinary life.

Love brings him the chance at a new life in the form of Vanjii, a beautiful, damaged woman.

But try as he might to abandon the past, his past won't abandon him.

The Kid fights back in the only way he knows--and sets in motion a tragic sequence of events that lead him to an explosive conclusion shocking in its brutality and tenderness.
