The flight of three: a woman escaping the impotent arm of the law, a pseudo-assassin fleeing from a job, enlisting protection from the Order of the Book, and the last of the trio, Ahmed—the leader of the Castaway Revolution—is seeking a new life; a car-bomb has shattered his old one. The three runaways find their new identities difficult to grasp; shadows from the past rear up, bringing with them re-hammered phantasms of events from their former lives. Inextricably linked by death-then-departure, the runaways must confront their personal apparitions—drop their Armour for just one minute—or face the irreparable consequences. All of this is told by a questionable being; a shadowy narrator emerging to wrestle with the threads of the three.
