Trained as a government assassin codenamed Orphan X, Evan Smoak left that life behind to protect the helpless. Saving lives beats taking them.

Until a call from the President forces him back into his old world. Her instruction is clear- kill a man who is a danger to the government, or Evan himself will face execution himself. But the President should know better.

To force Orphan X's hand will only make him more dangerous. Especially when he has reason to doubt the integrity of her motives .
