All Maxine wants to do is open up a restaurant with her best friend.
Simple right? Not.
Stuck in a toxic workplace with an overbearing boss, she hasn’t had a good night’s sleep in months; even worse she just broke a cardinal rule in her line of work.
DON’T FUCK UP!
Granted, that’s an occupational hazard in every job, but especially important for an assassin.
After she accidentally kills a guy trying to protect an innocent young woman from an assault her life starts to spiral out of control.
When that same woman becomes the next person on her hit list; she is forced to choose between saving her or betraying the only father-figure she knows.
