THE INNOCENT
Mikey is a large Immortal with limited mental powers, who lives with
fellow Immortal Alan and Alan's mortal wife Helen. When a wandering
Immortal with a lust for headhunting appears on the scene, Mikey's
world starts to fall apart, and he finds himself on the run with
nowhere to go and little idea of what to do. Luckily for him, another
Immortal comes on to scene - this time it's Richie, who will find his
desire to help Mikey conflicts with Mac's warning about taking
responsibility for the situation.
