A high-energy, comedic romp built on mistaken identity and role reversal, where a lethal assassin's amnesia becomes the setup for absurdist humor and unlikely redemption.

A reverse comedy that tells the story of a perfectionist assassin who falls and hits his head in a sauna, giving him amnesia. When a down-and-out actor switches locker keys with him, they switch lives until the hit-man, who soon becomes an action hero on TV, starts to remember things.
