Synopsis/Details
They fight like any other Mother-Son, but when it's time to get down to business, they're bloody professional... Mums is a seasoned Hush-hush Govt Assassin, has been for years. She knows the Queen personally. Her son, the Lad, follows in Mumsie's footsteps, ex-Military, sharp shooter, great at hand-to-hand combat, good in his own right, but not his Mother.
So when assigned a challenging assignment, aka a mark, he has a bit of bloody trouble executing the kill order, so who comes in to save the day and embarrass him, his Mother! Man, nothing more disowning than to have your mother come in to clean up after you. Well, how about when she finished an assignment for you? That she was watching you all along. There's trust for ya, huh? I mean the Lad has some issues, but he's seeking therapy for that! Give a Lad a bloody break, will ya?
The assignment is a Russian operative who is trying to carry out his own assignment aka agenda, when The Lad is called up to stop him. Meet DOA - Dmitri Olag Aleksandr, or his initials also stand for Dead On Arrival! He's ex-Military as well, trained just as the Lad, aka Damian Cross was! This should prove to be quite an assassins tennis match!
