Real Life blows. Just ask Raymond Ash. As a student he and his friend Simon thought their futures would be paved with gold discs, gigs and groupies. Instead he's found himself in his thirties, a nervous new father and an even more nervous new English teacher, facing the fact that responsibility has no Escape key.
Everybody has to find their own way of coping. For some it's affairs, for others it's the bottle, while for his old mate Simon, it's serial murder, mass slaughter and professional assassination.
It's a lifestyle not a million miles from those rock-star dreams: international travel, seven-figure pay cheques, adrenaline rushes and, of course, world-wide notoriety. Simon may have sucked as a lead singer, but as "the Black Spirit" he's number one with a bullet.
