Un tueur à gage tombe amoureux de sa cible... Logen, ville de la déchéance humaine. Ville dans laquelle les sirènes de police ont remplacé les chants des oiseaux, où les gangs s'affrontent sans relâche au milieu d'une population pauvre et sans défense, ou presque. Soit t'y nais et tu te bats, soit t'y crèves. La drogue, les armes sont mon quotidien. Tout est une question de calculs, de fric, de choix. Un contrat signé : tuer l'autre pour de l'argent. Facile, tellement fait et refait que ça sera rapide. Mais cette fois-ci, la nana à liquider me plaît. Son nom ? Amyliana.

No one explodes one of the longest-held misconceptions of music history better than Steve Lukather and his band Toto. The dominant pop-culture sound of the late 1970s and '80s was not in fact the smash and sneer of punk, but a slick, polished amalgam of rock and R&B that was first staked out on Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees. That album was shaped in large part by the founding members of Toto, who were emerging as the most in-demand elite session muso-crew in LA, and further developed on the band's self-titled three-million-selling debut smash of 1978.
