Who Buried Achilles?
A cold and skillful assassin, Prometheus (or Meth, as he likes to be called) is forced to confront his demons when he receives a contract to kill the father he hasn’t seen in thirty years. Since his seventh birthday, when his father killed Meth’s dog with an axe, Meth has dreamed of a similar fate for the alcoholic who abused him and stole his childhood. Things take a startling twist when Meth discovers his father’s dark secret. Suddenly, he must reconsider everything in his life. Aided by his cantankerous boss and the love of a stranger, Meth launches the painful struggle to resuscitate his humanity.
