A transgression against the natural right of Deaf people to use and develop sign language - the infamous Milan 1880 Revolution - had created a turbulent legacy which exerts its influence to this day.

Two of the Deaf survivors, JOHN McCALVIN and his ladyfriend, DAWN WINTERS, soon find themselves in fear of Milan’s three hunters, led by the notorious female villain, REDLIPS.

The battle to save them is on...
