Introduction
The United States is in a state of shock after President Sheridan's assassination. You wake up, amnesiac and wounded, on a deserted East Coast beach.
The only clues to your identity are the number XIII tattooed near your collarbone and the key to a safety-deposit box in your hip pocket. Though your memory has let you down, you find you have the reflexes of a highly trained professional combatant. You set off in search of your past, discovering the part you played.
