"It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him."
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
The world, launched into war and turmoil, needs a great leader to release the grasp on bestiality. But sometimes, violence is the answer, and sometimes, violence can end bloodshed.
Follow two young geniuses who aspire to rule the whole planet with their plans. There is one small problem, though. Both of them would do anything to rule, and they both are unsuspecting of the other. Will the two masterminds band together to save the world, or will they be launched into full out war, possibly destroying it?

It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
