Synopsis:
Sasha is not like other men. Cursed from birth with an overwhelming power that he has never been able to control, Sasha is a dangerous man prone to violent outbursts, which inevitably end with someone else dead or horribly broken. His rule is the rule of raw survival, of meeting force with greater force and always being the last man standing. In any other world, Sasha would be the villain of the piece rather than the hero. But this is a world where everyone is filled with violence, and Sasha is set apart by more than just his fearsome power: he also has his love for Katya, a woman he meets totally at random and falls powerfully and immediately in love with. It is a romance doomed from the start, and Sasha knows it -- he has no illusions about what he is and what lies in his future, but for at least a brief moment he can imagine and reach for something better in his life. It all, of course, ends in tragedy.
