Stan was happy with his life, at least he was until he started receiving anonymous notes.
Given a choice between coming clean about betraying his life-long friend or complying with devastating orders to kill people he knows and loves, Stan is so frightened for his own life and so chooses the latter.
Having lived a life of self-abuse and hedonism, his past indiscretions now clash forcing him to commit murder to protect himself or have the truth come out.
Stan's line of work adds to his complicated life and he has to tread a fine line between doing his job and not getting caught.
It remains a juggling act to keep his very public work separate from his private life. How far he gets before he gets caught only time will tell, but somebody is soon on his tail.
