A dark comedy-noir about a hitman's midlife unraveling, where existential dread and romantic connection collide with the absurdity of his violent profession.

Alex is going through a midlife crisis and it has become a very difficult time for him. His marriage is struggling, he's worried about his son, and his job of killing people for his family has become the most stressful part of his life. He seeks the help of a therapist and meets a woman in the waiting room that he connects with.
