**MASTERPIECE** One of the best web show i have ever seen. Great acting by Jaeden. Story keeps u binding till the end. A must watch, another great by Chris Evans. GO WATCH IT NOW!!!!!! DON'T THINK TOO MUCH.

Unsure of the point of this show. How true to the book is it? If this is anything like the book, Ill be sure to avoid that, too. The ending was not satisfying, despite the "twist".
