Floyd Tanager, a paranoid individual, is seeking revenge for his murdered younger brother. His quest brings him to find a man known simply as “Sphinx”. With a man bound and brought out to a field to learn more information, Floyd learns more about the fate of his brother and the man who chose to end his life.
