WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A professional assassin, known only as The Virtuoso (Mount), is assigned by his mysterious mentor and boss (Hopkins) to track down and kill a rogue hitman, in order to pay off an outstanding debt. However, he is only given a time and a location, and no name or any other description or identification, leaving him with little time to correctly deduce the identity of his target, before an encounter with an alluring woman (Cornish) threatens to derail the entire mission…
