In a gritty future dystopia, Turo is the world's most lethal bounty hunter. This tough-as-nails mercenary survives on a toxic mix of booze, deadly narcotics, women and his gift for snuffing out human life.
His only friends are the quasi-dictator who runs the city, a local drug dealer, and the artificial intelligence system in his flying car.
And Turo has other big problems: He's spent most of his life as an orphan with no memory of his father and only a silver chain and ring to remind him of the mother he briefly knew.
But when a deranged military commando from his family's past returns to exact revenge on Turo and the city he calls home, this tortured soul must confront the dark secrets of his own history and the genetic experiments responsible for his superhuman powers.
Can Turo stop this madman in time to save his city and himself? Will he learn the dark secrets that shaped his desperate existence? Does he even care enough to try?

Dick and Kurt Vonnegut, Loton weaves a white-knuckle tale of death, destructionand the ultimate redeeming power of love that can save us all.
