In a crime‑riddled America, the shadowy organization Inferno controls most hits through its near‑invulnerable assassin, the Phantom. A Japanese tourist accidentally witnesses one of her murders and flees to an abandoned building, where Phantom—revealed as a young woman named Ein—and Inferno’s leader, the Scythe Master, capture and brainwash him. Renamed “Zwei,” he becomes a memory‑less pawn, forced to survive amid relentless deception, violence, and the constant threat of death, hoping to reclaim his past.
