Produced by Regent Capital, Magic Light Pictures
A lighthearted action-comedy about a lonely assassin who finds unexpected warmth and connection through sparing a victim and gaining an apprentice, built on mistaken identity and romantic tension.
Victor Maynard is a middle-aged, solitary assassin who lives to please his formidable mother, despite his own peerless reputation for lethal efficiency. His professional routine is interrupted when he finds himself drawn to one of his intended victims. After sparing her life, he unexpectedly acquires a young apprentice.
