Synopsis/Details
Retired hitman, Trip Riser, falls on hard times after the death of his wife. Hospital bills are past due and his house is near foreclosure. Trip is approached by Benjamin, a mob boss, who offers him a job that will pay off all his debts. Trip discusses the offer with his daughter, Monica, and Dexter, his best friend. As a family, they decide to do the job, but with a twist. Monica uses her movie make-up skills to make the victim appear “beaten and dead.” Dexter places the victim in Witness Protection. Benjamin blackmails Trip into doing another hit. He shows Trip a video of a man lying in a hospital bed. It’s Gary, Benjamin’s brother, and Monica’s ex-boyfriend, who Trip believed he killed four years prior.
