Synopsis
In a future where the ultra-wealthy can live forever, professional hitmen serve as the only real check on their power. One such assassin, genetically built for the job, treats state-sanctioned killing like any other boring office gig. But a new assignment that breaks his usual routine threatens to upend his carefully managed life of debt and violence.
