One rainy night in a bar, stock trader Hyde meets former soldier Gara. Hyde, moved by simple goodwill, calls Gara his guardian angel and hires him as a bodyguard, finding him “interesting.” But Gara was a Vietnam War veteran.
Keeping Gara close as his bodyguard, Hyde one day glimpses the darkness in his soul—
and can no longer think of him as merely “interesting.”
Hyde became aware of his own obsession with Gara.
The more he learned about him, the more he tried to help him, the more he came to know Gara and became fixated on him, leading to his own torment.
