At the age of fourteen, Marciano kills a pedophilic abbot with the sharpened point of a crucifix, driving him to take refuge in a remote mountain villa in Corsica, devoted to training assassins and forcing him into a career as a notorious assassin known as The Crucifix. Later, he attempts to break free of his French Milieu masters and is pursued from Morocco to Paris, the Greek island of Mykonos, Messina, and finally, the Spanish Sahara. Throughout, he strives to find a belief, not in God so much, but in something more significant, his true nature.
