The Cleaner

In the shadowed underworld of the John Wick universe, where rules are iron and blood is currency, Joel Carter is the man who comes after the trigger's been pulled.

He's not an assassin. He's the one who cleans up after them.

Trained by a legendary Conspirator, Joel is a Cleaner-a ghost who erases loose ends for the High Table itself. His orders come straight from the Elders, the faceless monarchs of global power. But Joel is also a single father of four, trying to shield his children from the darkness he wades through nightly. By day, he's soft-spoken, gentle, and devoted. By night, he's a whisper of death, balancing guilt and duty with a pistol and a code of silence.

But when a child connected to the High Table is nearly murdered, Joel uncovers a truth that rattles the very foundation of the assassin world: someone inside the Table is breaking the rules. Worse, a new faction is rising-one that sees families not as sacred, but as leverage.

Now Joel must do what he was never trained to do-disobey.

Hunted by Adjudicators, haunted by old ghosts, and walking a tightrope between fatherhood and vengeance, Joel Carter becomes the one thing the High Table fears most:

A Cleaner with nothing left to lose.
