He had a simple plan: leave the village, make his fortune in Nairobi, and return to marry Connie, the love of his life. In the sprawling, unforgiving streets of Nairobi, honest work is a slow path to nowhere. When a charismatic and dangerous gangster named Jim offers him a shortcut, Bob is seduced by the promise of fast money and the power it brings. He becomes the ghost in the machine—the bank's trusted, innocent-faced messenger boy by day, the inside man for a ruthless robbery crew by night. The deeper he sinks into the city's criminal underworld, the further he drifts from the man Connie believes him to be. Just as he's about to lose himself completely, a ghost from home arrives with earth-shattering news: Bob is a father. Now, he has a new reason to escape, a real future to fight for. He plans one last, massive heist—the score that will set him free and send him home. But in a world where the only rule is every man for himself, can you rob your way to redemption? Or is the price of a future with her the cost of his soul?
