Issue #1's story, "Temptation," begins when a couple of Mafia bagmen accidentally leave a briefcase containing a gun and 50 grand – down payment on a hit – in the apartment of a twenty-something, unemployed slacker. When he finds it, he sees an opportunity to escape his dead end existence (not to mention his creditors) and hits the road. Of course, once they realize the mistake, the mobsters start hunting him down, finally tracking him to Las Vegas for a violent denouement.
Issue #2, "A.W.M. (Angry White Man)," follows a middle aged office worker, who becomes homicidal after being fired by his black supervisor for a mistake made by a Hispanic co-worker. Killing the woman he blames for his misfortune, he soon finds himself on the run from the law and his actions branded by the press as a racist hate crime.
