Taken from a group home at age twelve, Evan Smoak was raised and trained as an off-the-books government assassin: Orphan X. After he broke with the Orphan Program, Evan disappeared and reinvented himself as the Nowhere Man, a man spoken about only in whispers and dedicated to helping the truly desperate.

Evan Smoak lever enligt sina egna regler. En gång var han känd som Orphan X. Han tränades till lönnmördare i regeringens topphemliga program och var en av de mest talangfulla - och mest fruktade - personerna i programmet. Men han bröt sig loss och återuppfann sig själv som The Nowhere Man, en mytomspunnen man känd för att hjälpa de mest utsatta. Max Merriweather är desperat. Hans kusin har blivit brutalt mördad och har lämnat efter sig ett kuvert med en mystisk nyckel. Någon är ute efter nyckeln, och denna någon är så hänsynslös att Max nu själv är i fara.

Als "Orphan X" hat Evan Smoak jahrelang für die US-Regierung im Verborgenen getötet, bis er ausstieg und in den Untergrund ging, immer auf der Flucht vor seinen Auftraggebern. Um seine Taten zu sühnen, setzt er als "Nowhere Man" seine Fähigkeiten ein und hilft denen, die keinen Ausweg mehr haben. Doch der Schatten, den das "Orphan"-Programm auf Evans Leben geworfen hat, ist mit dem Tod dessen Schöpfers verschwunden. Nun will Evan auch den "Nowhere Man" in den Ruhestand schicken und das größte Wagnis eingehen, dass er sich vorstellen kann: ein normales Leben führen.

Als "Nowhere Man" ist Evan Smoak unter Verbrechern auf der ganzen Welt bekannt und gefürchtet; für seine ehemaligen Auftraggeber ist er "Orphan X", ein Absolvent des Orphan-Programms, in dem Waisenkinder zu hocheffizienten Killern ausgebildet wurden. Nach Jahren des Mordens für die Regierung ist Evan in den Untergrund gegangen. Um seine früheren Taten zu sühnen, nutzt er seine Fähigkeiten nun, um den Verzweifelten zu helfen. Doch Evan wird gejagt.

Chief Dr. David Spier must keep the emergency room running smoothly and efficiently, even as his terrified co-workers wonder who will be the next victim.

Evan Smoak lives by his own code. Once he was known as Orphan X. Trained as an off-the-books government assassin and spoken about only in whispers, Evan Smoak was one of the most talented - and most feared - men in the Program. 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.

Before he was the Nowhere Man, Evan Smoak was a highly trained government operative known to a few as Orphan X. But he now lives by hiding in plain sight, keeping his head down and his eyes clear.

The only person who can help her is a man with the background and the skills of the Nowhere Man.

Over the past two decades, Nick Horrigan has built a quiet, safe life for himself, living as much under the radar as possible. But all of that shatters when, in the middle of the night, a SWAT team bursts into his apartment, grabs him and drags him to a waiting helicopter. A terrorist - someone Nick has never heard of - has seized control of a nuclear reactor, threatening to blow it up. And the only person he’ll talk to is Nick, promising to tell Nick the truth behind the events that shattered his life twenty years ago.

Taken from a group home at age twelve, Evan Smoak was raised and trained as part of the Orphan Program, an off-the-books operation designed to create deniable intelligence assets - i.e. assassins. Evan was Orphan X. He broke with the Program, using everything he learned to disappear and reinvent himself as the Nowhere Man, a man who helps the truly desperate when no one else can. But now Evan's past is catching up to him.

Most of the kids they know have been dragged away by once-trusted adults who are now ferocious, inhuman beings.

First, Patrick receives a DVD in the post. It shows footage of him and his wife, Ariana, walking, dressing, going to work - all filmed by cameras hidden in their house. Someone is clearly out to get him. And then the email arrives: GO ALONE. TELL NO ONE. DO WHAT WE SAY. OR SHE DIES. Patrick’s life is turned upside down. Suddenly this has become a matter of life and death.
