Konu: Raven, hayatını çirkin işlere adamış çirkin bir adam, bir kiralık katildir. Savunma bakanını (ve sekreterini) vahşice katletmesi üzerine tüm Avrupa birbirine girer. Sokaklar eski savaşların hayaletleri, her an çıkabilecek yeni bir savaşın korkusu ile dolarken, Raven ise sadece emirleri takip etmiştir; yol açtığı karmaşıklığı bilmez, umursamaz.

Ancak bu katliamının karşılığı çalıntı banknotlarla ödenince işler değişir. Aldatılmayı kendine yediremeyen Raven, gizemli işverenin kimliğini açığa çıkartmaya karar verir. (Tanıtım Bülteninden)

Plot: Raven is an ugly man dedicated to ugly deeds. His cold-blooded killing of a European Minister of War is an act of violence with chilling repercussions, not just for Raven himself but for the nation as a whole. The money he receives in payment for the murder is made up of stolen notes and when the first of these is traced, Raven becomes a man on the run. As he tracks down the agent who has been double-crossing him and attempts to elude the police, he becomes both hunter and hunted: an unwitting weapon of a strange kind of social justice.
