Die the Villain is the Noir of our pre-Snowden yesterday. Can you remember yesterday through the haze of whiskey and smoke?Finn returned from Japan last year, a 24-year-old Darknet impresario with Yakuza ties, ink, and an MBA from a prominent university. Undercover as a mild-mannered business consultant, he shrouds himself within the city’s crowded café hotspots while trading in the spoils of the new century: stolen information. Alias: APHID GRIN.He hooks up with Chloë, a fashionable grad-school dropout, new in town. She draws him into a social scene he’s only glimpsed from a distance, rubbing elbows with the city’s youthful élite, but a foiled heist leaves him scrambling for cover, perhaps the sole survivor of his Darknet crew. His gender identity concealed from the other side of a double life, Finn loses himself within his rising celebrity as “Gigi,” young society’s latest It-girl.
