Even assassins have to hit their targets

201890 min6.3 / 10

A darkly comedic buddy story that uses the absurdity of a suicide-for-hire contract to explore redemption, connection, and reasons to live.

William has failed to kill himself so many times that he outsources his suicide to aging assassin Leslie. But with the contract signed and death assured within a week (or his money back), William suddenly discovers reasons to live... However Leslie is under pressure from his boss to make sure the contract is completed.
