For what he can remember, V has always been there. He doesn't remember how he came to be, or why, he simply accepted the fact that he was there, and lived that way. There are other things V never learned to grasp, like family, or "hate", to the frustration of his roommate, Scott Denver, who has to put up with V's peculiarly every day. All except one day, when V comes into contact with a man named Andrew, who claims to know why V exists and that everything they experienced so far is just "one side of the story." More people seem to know more about him then V knows about himself, including information about a network of "Alters", the revolution that you cannot see and a cruel man named Erick, whom appears to only exist when you believe him to. While 4 sides in the city begin to reveal themselves to the two, and Scott and V come into contact with many people whom seem to be unattached to their reality, V learns that he should've never believed in Erick, For he costs you a lot more than faith.
