The premise, in the publisher's words
Mr. Shifty is a thief who can teleport short distances, blinking through walls and slipping past gunfire in the blink of an eye. Guided over the radio by his handler Nyx, he breaks into Olympus Tower, the heavily guarded headquarters of StoneCorp, on a mission to steal a dangerous weapon before the sinister Chairman Stone can put it to malevolent use. Punching and dodging his way up through room after room of armed guards and deadly traps, Shifty pushes deeper into the tower toward a reckoning with Stone.
