"And so, ends another day of my life," Samuel reflected miserably. "A 'life' which, as it is, is nothing more than dying slowly. I can't go on like this," He resolved. "I can't bear this. Sooner or later, something's got to give." Samuel is the listless, malcontent second son of a farmer perpetually living in his older brother's shadow and condemned to an unfulfilled life of farming in his father's stead. Trapped in a cycle of hating his lot in life, hating the oppressive world he was born into, and hating himself, Samuel sets out to seek the solution to his problems - a mystical ringleader of troublemakers named Charlie who he hopes holds the key to his and his people's salvation. In time, Samuel finds himself with a motivating goal, a pretty girl on his arm and a changed outlook. But are his problems truly over? As he works to confront and defeat the tyrants who lord themselves over him, Samuel finds that his dark and dangerous crusade is a blade that wounds both ways. Just how deeply will it cut?
