Description:
Sven is your run-of-the-mill sweeper (aka bounty hunter) - down on his luck, haunted by the perpetual grumbling of his stomach and looking to make enough cash to get by. Oh, and he can see the future, but only about five minutes into it.

When a dirty politician lands a price on his head, the sweeper jumps at the chance to earn a quick buck. But as he's working to secure the target, his vision reveals an assassination that will cost him the job. A confrontation with the mysterious killer, and Sven has no idea that he's brushed up against the worst possible luck.

Contains episodes 1-4:
Episode 1: The Solitary Cat
Sven is just a normal sweeper—or bounty hunter—looking to make enough cash for his next meal. After a dirty gangster is elected governor, Sven finds a reward on the man’s head and decides to use his non-violent means to grab the bad guy and make some cash. What he didn’t expect was a vision of an assassination and a confrontation with the killer… A killer with the Roman number XIII branded into his chest. When Sven goes asking about those strange numbers, he finds out more bad news. He might just be next on the killer’s list.

Episode 2: The Hesitant Cat
As Sven heads back to his regular sweeper bar looking for work, a young girl bursts through the doors after being chased by a gang of thugs. Chivalrous as he is, Sven can’t turn his back and he saves the girl from her pursuers. She begins to tell him the sad story of her little sister who was kidnapped by a big time gangster. She’s got the money to pay the ransom, but she’ll gladly hand it over to Sven if he can save her sister first. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. But don’t all cons start out sounding great?

Episode 3: The Cat in the Dark
As Sven takes a job to save a kidnapped girl, he finds out his suspicions about not being told the whole truth are right on. The girl he was hired to seek isn’t an innocent sister. She’s a bio-engineered killing machine. And not all of her circuits are working on the right grid.

Episode 4: The Smiling Cat
While Sven hatches his plan to infiltrate Torneo’s compound, Black Cat is right on his heels. Each of the men make a mad dash for Eve. Each of the men have their own reasons. The fight that ensues is nothing compared to the shocking scientific discovery that Rinslet uncovers in the basement lab. Eve is not even close to the first experiment Torneo has made
