| Plot Summary of Henry's List of Wrongs |
|---|
"They call him the Assassin. Henry is not what you'd call a nice guy. In fact, he's merciless, relentless, not to mention downright mean. He's at top form, and he stepped on every toe he could find on the way up. When a strange attack of conscience overwhelms him, Henry finds himself on a mission with a psych student/maid who drives him crazy and pushes him ruthlessly to make it to the end of his List of Wrongs. This means confronting a number of people Henry has forced himself not to think about. It means coming to terms with what he was and what he wants to be. And it means facing a past he ran away from and has spent ten years overcoming."
Sarrah, Resident Scholar
