A dark, kinetic thriller about a death-row inmate coerced into becoming a government assassin, balancing action spectacle with the moral cost of control and transformation.

Hardened criminal Maggie Hayward's consistent violence, even in police custody, ends in the execution chamber. However, top-secret US government agent 'Bob' arranges a staged death, so Maggie can be elaborately trained as a phantom killer and subdued into obedience.
