Just what is the story morning glory?

I've given you some background on myself, my work and how the story came to be. But exactly what is the story? That's a good question. So here's the official synopsis.

Reeshar, a Las Vegas hitman with a dark and complex background flees when a price is put on his head by one of his former employers. He winds up in the Thai capital Bangkok where he assumes a low key life, content to be out of "the business". The tranquility he's found is disrupted when he meets the stunning Deh (pronounced "day") - a prostitute with her own troubled past - and is shattered completely when she disappears under mysterious circumstances. For a year he wanders the city hoping to run into her or some trace of her to no avail. Then one evening someone slips a note into his pocket on a crowded subway train instructing him to be at a certain place at a certain time if he wants to see Deh again. Suspicious but desperate he goes and by going unleashes a series of events that will rock the lives of everyone involved.

I'm reluctant to say more than that about the story at this point. The title should be a pretty good indication that, while the synopsis hits the major story beats, the devil will be found lurking in the details. For instance; no one in his adopted hometown knows who Reeshar really is or what he's doing there. For that matter no one even knows if Reeshar is his real name. He on the other hand knows little of the personal lives of the Thais he interacts with. It's his quest to discover the truth about what happened to Deh that pries open the Pandora's box of secrets. And it's the spilling of those secrets that drives the narrative and consumes the players.

Many of the characters in the story are based on real people. Of course their experiences and some of their characteristics have been altered to fit the fictional narrative (for the record I don't know any hitmen) but there are real people at the core of all the major and many of the minor characters.
