Once back to civilian life though he has trouble adjusting to the idea that murder is no longer his duty; outside the military murder is a crime. He still longs for revenge on his childhood torturers but he knows that by hunting them by killing them he will be just like them.</p> <p>Through these internal battles Elizabeth is always there keeping the truth of Woody’s past and present fantasies a secret. Together they share details of their own personal defects and romantic relationships. Their friendship keeps Woody from becoming a monster but how long will Elizabeth be able to calm Woody’s demons without awakening some of her own?</p>
