Plot Summary

After faking his death at the end of Chapter 4, John Wick vanishes into the shadows—wounded, weary, and presumed gone by the criminal underworld. But peace is short-lived when a new High Table faction emerges, led by the ruthless “Regency Seven”, who seek to restore absolute order and eliminate all “free agents.”

With Winston stripped of the Continental, the Bowery King in hiding, and global assassins being activated en masse, John is forced to return from exile when the last piece of his past—his mentor—is marked for death.

To end the cycle, John must go deeper than ever—into the High Table’s origin, fighting through sacred assassin cities across Vienna, Istanbul, and Osaka, and facing his deadliest enemy yet: a cold, calculating woman known only as The Oracle, who predicts every move before it’s made.
