Shaun is a young, self-serving criminal with no family, no prospects, and no conscience. Raised among dealers, thieves and low-level gangsters, he spent his teenage years running drugs and weapons, relying on a baby face and easy charm to stay useful. On his 18th birthday he accidentally discovers he can leave his own body and force his way into other people’s — a power that turns every stranger into a potential escape route, disguise, or plaything.

He wastes no time abusing it. What begins as panicked self-preservation quickly becomes pure indulgence. Consequences are someone else’s problem.

As his control grows, so does his recklessness. He burns through identities, leaves wrecked lives behind him, and treats every new body as disposable entertainment. The power that should have been a perfect get-out-of-jail card instead fuels a spiral of escalating debauchery, cruelty and short-sighted hedonism. Until a shadow organisation starts hunting the “dangerous body hopper,” and Shaun realises too late that living only for the next ride may cost him everything.
