The story is set in the present day.
Pierre is a former math student. Forced to abandon his studies in order
to care for his father — a professor who has since died — Pierre has
thrown himself wholeheartedly into boxing, although he abhors violence.
His career as an amateur boxer is going so well that he has begun to
harbor hopes of turning professional. But Pierre lives alone, and hides
his boxing activities from his friends, just as he used to hide them
from his father, for fear of their reactions.
TJ, Pierre’s close friend since their college days, works in a bank. He
is gifted in his work and popular with women. But he has one vice:
gambling. It’s a secret he conceals, so as not to frighten his new
girlfriend, Anne. A dangerous game — because TJ sometimes bets very
large sums of money, with very untrustworthy people… And that’s how it
happens that, one day, he makes too big a wager…
Anne tells everyone that she’s a teacher, even though she and Pierre met
in the restaurant where she waitresses in the evenings. But Anne has a
far darker secret: her waitressing job is just a cover for her real
work as a professional killer. And an organization is about to make her
an offer she can’t refuse…
How long can these little games continue? Unusually perceptive, this
trilogy unfolds in three acts around three characters and their
individual perspectives, each one with something big to hide…
