Stripped of his memories, the boy is taken in by Phantom and trained in the art of killing. As he learns, he grows into an assassin capable of standing alongside her, and is gradually drawn into the organization's conspiracies.
In this ruthless, lawless world, what will become of the two young assassins...?
