The Drifter

How far can a man run from his past?

Vick Lempereur is a drifter.

A former mercenary.

A man trying — and failing — to outrun the violence he once embraced.

When he boards one of the longest trains crossing the Mauritanian desert, he thinks it's just another job. Another day. Another deal.

He is wrong.

Among the passengers:

• A ruthless warlord
• A mysterious American buyer
• A dangerous art trafficker
• And a cursed artifact whispered to bring death

As greed, fear, and hidden agendas collide, something ancient awakens. Something that feeds on guilt. Something that knows exactly what Vick is trying to forget.

Now survival isn't just about strength.

It's about facing what he truly is.

In the burning silence of the desert, redemption always comes at a price.
