Ghost Dog lives above the world, alongside a flock of birds, in a homemade shack on the roof of an abandoned building. Guided by the words of an ancient Samurai text, Ghost Dog is a professionsal killer able to dissolve into the night and move through the city unnoticed. When Ghost Dog's code is dangerously betrayed by the dysfunctional Mafia family that occasionally employs him, he reacts strictly in accordance with The Way Of The Samurai.
