I've got a story for you. There's this girl named Shirley Estar, and she kills people for money in a grim future society. But it's not a lot of money, so she lives in poverty which is just one of her many problems. Shirley Estar didn't want to be a contract killer when she grew up, but things just kind of worked out that way—you know how it is. Life sucks. End of story? Nah. You see, Shirley's just cornered a guy who tells her a secret so unbelievable that it just has to be true. A story that could save her from her awful life. So the story's just beginning. What's the secret? What's Shirley gonna do? And why is she encountering so many strange coincidences lately?
