No one ever thought that S.H.I.E.L.D., a once world renowned government protection group, would become a crumbling pile of ash and glass. With the Winter Soldier now faded into the crowd, no one knows where he is, no one can find him. He's the ghost everyone thought was a myth. But when he finds himself on the shore of the bay, injured and alone, a woman finds it in herself to show him the mercy he deserved. But now the wanted fugitive, and the woman now tagged on as an accomplice, are both wanted by Hydra and previous S.H.I.E.L.D. officers seeking out revenge and the weapon they helped to build. The Winter Soldier will stop at nothing to find out the truth, who he was and save the life of the stranger.
