A darkly comedic crime romance unfolds as a world-weary hitman, seeking solace from alcoholism in the California sun, finds an unlikely connection with a cynical, sharp-witted woman. Their burgeoning relationship isn’t a conventional meet-cute; it’s forged in mutual self-destruction and pragmatic usefulness as he prepares for a violent return to his past in Buffalo. The film distinguishes itself through its deadpan delivery and refusal to romanticize either the criminal underworld or the characters’ deeply flawed natures, offering a refreshingly unsentimental take on the hitman trope. It's a story less about escaping consequence and more about momentarily finding respite – and grudging companionship – in the face of inevitable reckoning, exploring how even the most damaged individuals seek connection, however twisted.
