But before he can finally be free of the manipulative forces surrounding him, he must relive the best and worst moments of his life. Using Marcus Holloway's VR technology, he walks through his memories of living as a penniless deserter and meeting the love of his life, Alex Taylor. Reflecting on his passionate and tumultuous love affair with the ruggedly handsome criminal mastermind, he will eventually come to terms with the truth behind this crushing love.
