About The Order:
Land of the free. The shining city on the hill. America is the place anyone, with hard work and dedication, can fulfill their wildest dreams. It is where each and every one of us is in control of our own destiny. But is it really?
Jericho Morgan, an up-and-coming MMA fighter in his twenties, watches helplessly as his mother is shot in the head by an agent of the globe-spanning sinister conglomerate, the Order. This sets the young man on a quest for justice. Teaming up with an aging Scottish wanderer named Marcus Killihan, who has been battling the Order for many years, Jericho works tirelessly to find damning information on the organization. This puts him in the crosshairs of a merciless alien hunter/killer known only as the Assassin. If it takes Jericho more than one lifetime to bring the Order to its knees, then so be it.
