The gang killer "Ghost Dog" (Forest Whitaker), who lives in New Jersey, is of African descent, but he is immersed in the spiritual world of Japanese Bushido, and "loyalty" is the highest creed of his life. He stays simple and unsmiling, and communicates with the boss by flying pigeons on a daily basis. Guigou regards the boss Louis (John Tormey) as his biological father. After receiving the order, he will not be soft.
Lonely, he also has friends who can make heart-to-heart. In his spare time, he chats with French-speaking Africans who buy ice cream in the park, and each speaks his own words, but it is also interesting; or he exchanges his thoughts on reading "Rashomon" with a little girl who loves to read.
The ghost dog lives in his own world, but great changes have taken place around him. Finally, one day, he was abandoned by Louis and became a victim of gang rolling.
