Choose your destiny.

Doormat Wesley Gibson is an office worker whose life is going nowhere. He meets a sexy woman named Fox and discovers that his recently murdered father - whom Wesley never knew - belonged to the Fraternity, a secret society of assassins which takes its orders from Fate itself. Fox and Sloan, the Fraternity's leader, teach Wesley, through intense training, to tap into dormant powers and hone his innate killing skills. Though he enjoys his newfound abilities, he begins to suspect that there is more to the Fraternity than meets the eye.

Wanted - Scegli il tuo destino

Prima di diventare il gioiello della Confraternita, un gruppo armato di giustizieri agli ordini del Fato, Weasley Gibson era un impiegato anonimo e ipocondriaco, vessato da una dirigente "abbondantemente" insopportabile e tradito dal migliore amico con la fidanzata petulante. Abbordato alla cassa di un drugstore da una donna killer tutta tatuaggi e pistole, Wes scopre che i suoi attacchi di panico nascondono poteri ultrasensoriali e capacità fisiche sbalorditive. Allenato dalla Confraternita a pugni in faccia e fendenti affilati, viene iniziato all'arte della vendetta "giusta": uccidere i "cattivi", nominati da un arcano telaio. La sua missione sarà quella di eliminare il superkiller che ha ucciso il padre mai conosciuto. Ma l'antica organizzazione di superassassini, che da secoli protegge l'umanità, annientando il Male e facendo il Bene, nasconde un segreto. Spetterà a Wes svelarlo, imparando a controllare il proprio destino.
