Zelig has gone to ground and a series of merciless killings continues. Shayne Pericleus emerges from near-fatal self-inflicted wounds and is being tracked by US Agents and The Shoebox, a psychotic London gangster. Forced to bring his alter-ego back, he gets closer to solving the killings until, mentally drained, physical changes leave him vulnerable to an unseen adversary.

Depressed, abused, and mourning his murdered father, it seems Shayne is at his lowest until an accident leaves him with an implosive capability that threatens his sanity and plunges him into a life of drugs and sex and easy money, until he uses the baffling talent to help solve a year-long mystery and goad the police, who want it covered-up, with press leaks. When foreign agents join the race to find and neutralise the cerebral Superhero, Shayne struggles to stay ahead. With the net closing he must make a stark choice - abandon Zelig, his own phantasmal alter-ego and the many crime victims who rely on him for justice, or continue on the current path where danger, and madness, await.
