What if you decide to fight for your life and slowly but surely you get on top of things, life returns to some level of normality....then bang you are faced with an even more serious threat, one completely outside your control. Can you do it again, beat the odds and get your destiny back where it belongs, in your hands.

Killers At Large in New York City

New York is no stranger to terrorist attacks, the Twin Towers atrocity is one that is burned into the minds of every single person, even the millions of people around the world, that saw the drama unfold on television and the Internet. What Mark Thorpe didn't know was that there were killers at large in the city again and that he was about to become their prisoner!

Hostages & Kidnappers

He is taken hostage and witnesses the brutality of his kidnappers as they try to negotiate the release of their comrades held in the Bagram Detention Centre in Afghanistan. They will go to any lengths to achieve their objectives and Mark witnesses the murder of innocent people caught up in this terrorist attack. Their only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

HIV & Aids

Mark has already experienced a life threatening situation, he has been there before with a serious illness that is his deepest secret. A secret he has chosen not to share with his employers or even his most intimate friends. He faced that threat with strength and courage and now, more than ever, he would need to draw on the courage that got him through his first ordeal. He was no killer but he was also not prepared to just sit back and let these terrorists take his life or the lives of any more innocent people.

Reluctant heroes don’t shout about their deeds from the rooftops, they just do what they have to do and then try to get on with their lives. Unfortunately for Mark, he was not going to be allowed to do that.
