He feels as if something is missing, until he receives a package in the mail that contains a wooden mask in the shape of a wolf, and an invitation to an underground society of unknown, masked artists known as “The Animals of Society”.

After meeting the Society, he realizes that the acts of vandalism and art through which they defy corporate America are becoming more extreme over time. Roman will have to choose: return to his normal life of cubicle and school work, or lead an extraordinary one filled with excitement and danger.
