Henry Juarbe, a graduate student with a steady job and an apparently bright future, does not fit the description of a criminal. In Different, however, nothing is as it seems. Henry’s life changes after he meets Paula, an intriguing beauty with a dangerous past, and Diff, a master criminal who leads him into a life of revenge, violence, and murder. Unaware of the consequences of his partnership with Diff, Henry finds himself unable to leave a life of crime that becomes increasingly risky as well as a threat to his relationship with Paula.
