A cold and methodical hitman sees his mind starting to fail him, putting his job at risk. A successful businessman who has crossed the red line one too many times faces the end of his career. And a traffic cop who dreamed of being a homicide detective finds himself stuck, both professionally and personally. Their seemingly separate lives inevitably cross, stirring up strange obsessions and secrets from the past.
