Before Jake & Chearice fought sentient cell phones and self-aware computer programs, there was Mouse. Before there was Mouse there was Xavier Culpeper: orphan, street-fighter, car thief, drug mule, and other jobs in-between. Sentenced to life-time internment as a soldier he seeks a way to extend his years beyond the scope of the nine lives he's allotted. Immortality comes with a price, and moral ambiguity that may be too much for Xavier to withstand.
