Een laatste klus voor Evan 'Nowhere Man' Smoak. Vroeger was hij Orphan X – een geheim agent die moordaanslagen pleegde namens een overheid die zijn bestaan ontkende – maar dat leven ligt voorgoed achter hem. Nu helpt Evan Smoak als de "Nowhere Man' iedereen die in de problemen zit en zich tot niemand anders kan wenden. Het is een zelfopgelegde boetedoening die van de kille moordenaar langzaam maar zeker weer een man met een geweten heeft gemaakt, waardoor hij begint te geloven dat een normaal leven mogelijk is. En dus neemt Evan een besluit. Nog één keer zal hij iemand van dienst zijn die zijn hulp nodig heeft, maar daarna zal de Nowhere Man ophouden te bestaan. Een allerlaatste klus. Alleen zou deze hem weleens fataal kunnen worden….

But he broke free and reinvented himself as The Nowhere Man, a figure shrouded in mystery, known for helping the truly desperate. If anyone is truly desperate, it's Max Merriweather. Max is at the end of his rope. His cousin has been brutally murdered, leaving Max an envelope that contains nothing but a mysterious key. However, someone really wants that key, badly enough that Max - and anyone he turns to - is in deadly danger. What seems like a simple job for The Nowhere Man turns out to be anything but. Behind every threat he takes out, a deadlier one emerges and Evan Smoak must put himself in greater danger than ever before as he heads once more Into The Fire.

But Jack knew too much about a programme that had gone rotten - he was a loose end that needed to be dealt with.
