It's Jesse Owen's time. He has finally reached 18 and is ready to go to Russia and receive a month of intense training with fellow assassins of the notorious Russian assassin group, "Midnight Shadows". When he gets to Russia, he learns the way of the assassin, learns about the assassin group itself, and he makes a few friends...and a few enemies. He even finds himself while being trained. But, he not only learns the fighting ways, but he also learns of the brutal ways that they deal with betrayal, rebellion, and any other trouble-maker who breaks the rules. Will he be able to keep his cool while he's here, or will it all be too much for Jesse?
