Live a life worth killing for.

About

When a young, inexperienced contract killer known for following instructions without asking questions is assigned to remove a seemingly disposable target, he expects a quick job and an easy escape. Instead, his life takes an unexpected turn when he is forced to live—up close and day after day—with the very man he’s supposed to eliminate. In cramped, ordinary spaces where habits are hard to hide and every shared meal, late-night conversation, and quiet routine builds a strange familiarity, the assassin’s professional detachment begins to erode. His target, outwardly apathetic and emotionally guarded, refuses to behave like an easy mark, turning anticipation into something more complicated: doubt, hesitation, and a growing inability to keep distance. As the week tightens and deadlines grow more dangerous, the killer must confront what it really means to carry out an order when he’s no longer dealing with a stranger, while the looming pressure from the highest authorities of the criminal underworld ensures that failure won’t remain private.
