Mr. In-between

Jon Bennet works for the Tattooed Man. He is the ideal employee: utterly loyal to the man for whom he kills. It's an existence that encourages solitude - until he encounters Andy and Cathy. His life is threatened, not by violence, but by the demands of friendship - and the Tattooed Man must punish.
