The Ghost Man specializes in erasing evidence. He burns his fingertips to avoid leaving prints, changes phones after every conversation, and lives alone by design. When a robbery goes wrong, he gets the call to clean up the mess. This time he faces a tight deadline of 48 hours and a dangerous complication. Someone wants him dead and is hunting him down. The Ghost Man must locate his would-be killer while completing the job that brought him there. Between assignments, he translates classic literature, but money means nothing to him. He takes these risks because he cannot tolerate a life without excitement. The clock runs down as he navigates the chaos of the failed heist, using his skills to stay one step ahead of both law enforcement and the assassin tracking him through the city.
