With as few words as possible, the Nowhere Man examines his mysterious origins.

The Nowhere Man is a legendary figure spoken about only in whispers. It's said that when he's reached by the truly desperate and deserving, the Nowhere Man can and will do anything to protect and save them.

But he's not merely a legend.

Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a personal mission to help those with nowhere else to turn. He's also a man with a dangerous past. Taken from a group home at twelve. Evan was raised and trained as part of the Orphan Program, and off-the-books operation designed to create deniable intelligence assets—i.e. assassins. Evan was Orphan X. He broke with the Program, using everything he learned to disappear and reinvent himself as the Nowhere Man. 

But what was life like in that group home before the Orphan Program? In this short episode, Smoak plays a game of truth or dare with a young friend from the Program—and what he doesn't say speaks volumes.
