GHOST is a perfectionist assassin who receives a new target from his handler NICKEL. He meticulously plans and follows the target, killing him at his home. However, the target's nephew KID witnesses the killing, forcing GHOST to decide whether to break his moral code against harming non-targets or risk being exposed. The summary establishes GHOST's character and perfectionist approach to assassinations, as well as the dilemma he faces with the nephew witnessing the killing.

2. FADE IN:
INT. THE HOUSE - THE BEDROOM — DAY
There is a text notification sound effect as the camera
focuses in a close up on our main character of the story.
GHOST 27, an assassin, (he is very young and ambitious
with great potential in the assassination business.
Perfection is everything for him).
He slowly opens his eyes as he reaches for the phone to
check out the message. The medium shot changes focus from
GHOST to the cellular device as he reaches for it. As
GHOST reaches for the cellular device, we see him read
the text message.
GHOST
(voice over)
Perfection. A perfect plan doesn't
involve everything going within
expectations.
The wide shot shows GHOST do his bedding with precise
detail. The close up shows him iron out the wrinkles on
the sheets on his bed. The tracking shot follows him as
he goes to clean up his working space next to his bed.
GHOST
(voice over)
No kids. No women. Simply my code.
Rest…just a target. There are
people out there who have no
moral. Not me.
The close up focuses on a collection of pens in a
straight line but see one of the pens out of position.
GHOST picks up the pen, snaps it in half and throws it in
the bin.
GHOST
(voice over)
A perfect plan is achieved when it
has the plasticity needed to
flexibly deal with the unforeseen.
INT. THE HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY
The camera follows GHOST into the kitchen walking through
the hallway. We focus on a bouquet on the table, a
collection of a beautiful and healthy group of flowers.
Then we focus on one of the leaves with a bad spot.

The close up focuses GHOST pick up a pair of scissors and
cut the whole steam off and throws it in the bin.
GHOST
(voice over)
Being the perfect assassin is not
about killing the target and
leaving without getting caught,
it’s about killing the target
where they would suffer to their
death and removing every single
trace. No sign. No trace. That’s
perfection.
The tracking shot follows GHOST leaving his house to get
to the gym. The close up focus on him putting on his
shoes and leaving the slippers near the door in a
straight and very tidy way.
CUT TO BLACK:
INT. DARK ROOM - DAY
The screen remains black as some noise of fists hitting a
boxing bag is heard. The screen then cuts to a close up
as we see GHOST training in a dark room for his next
execution.
The camera changes focus from GHOST training to his
cellular device as he receives a call from the HIERARCHY.
We slowly track him reaching for his cellular device.
HIERARCHY is the main organisation. (GHOST works for as
an assassin. We don't know anything about the HIERARCHY.
All we know about the organisation is that it has a
collection of assassins that work for them.)
GHOST
When and where?
HIERARCHY
(over the phone)
Tomorrow. Don’t care how it is
done. Needs to be done by 6pm. You
will receive the information.
GHOST
Consider it done.
The tracking shot follows GHOST as he leaves the room
with a tracking shot through the doors.

INT. HOUSE - BEDROOM - NIGHT
The close up focuses on GHOST on his computer looking at
something that we don’t know what he is looking at. As we
track around him, it is revealed that GHOST is
researching about the target.
GHOST
(voice over)
Perfection. Perfection.
Perfection. There’s a limit to
everything in the world expect
perfection.
The camera focuses on the target’s picture through an
over the shoulder shot. Then we follow GHOST as he gets
up from his chair and turns to his “board of death”. The
camera slowly zooms out as he looks at the board of
death.
The close up then changes focus from the board of death
to GHOST’S cellular device as it rings. He receives call
from manager NICKEL.
NICKEL is GHOST’s “manager”. (No one knows what his real
name is or who is in real life. GHOST has never seen
NICKEL in real life.)
NICKEL (O.S)
(over the phone)
Did you receive the information?
GHOST
Yes.
NICKEL (O.S)
(over the phone)
You have to follow him and figure
out what he does.
GHOST
I have my own plan. Don’t need to
tell me.
NICKEL (O.S)
(over the phone)
Must be done by 6PM. Or there will
be penalties.
GHOST
Never.
GHOST puts down his cellular device and the camera
focuses on the target’s picture.

EXT. TARGET’S HOUSE - DAY/AFTERNOON
We see the TARGET walk up to the door and enter his
house.
We cut to a medium shot tracking shot of the TARGET walk
through the door into the house.
INT. TARGET’S HOSUSE - DAY/AFTERNOON
The camera pans upwards as the TARGET sees a blanket on
the floor and sees someone standing in-front of him. The
camera changes to an over the shoulder shot as the camera
focuses on GHOST.
The camera cuts to black as we hear the sound of
gunshots.
The camera changes to a close up as we see the target
drop on the floor onto the mat.
The camera then switches to a wide shot of GHOST wrapping
up the dead boy.
We then slowly pan to someone standing behind GHOST. KID
is the nephew of the target who GHOST just killed and was
at his uncles house to stay the weekend.
KID
Uncle..?
We then slowly change focus back to GHOST as he turns
towards the KID and pulls out a knife. We see GHOST
flashbacks to crease on the bed as he is conflicted
between killing the KID and break his moral or leave her
and get exposed.
GHOST
(voice over)
Being the perfect
assassin isn’t about getting a few
kills and go on about your day,
its about whether you are willing
to break your moral to keep the
streak going.
