Plot
In the shadowy world of government-sanctioned assassins, Koralnik is a study in paradoxes. Ambitious yet unfulfilled, he serves as a contracted killer for a clandestine EU initiative. Yet, eight years into his tenure, he remains a dormant weapon—his lethal skills yet to be deployed. Trapped in a life of isolation and constant camouflage, Koralnik's existence is one of stifling monotony, until a chance encounter with the reticent Rosa.
When Rosa's car collides with his, she inadvertently crashes into Koralnik's life, offering a fleeting escape from his oppressive solitude. An unexpected dinner invitation pulls him into an evening of companionship, a rare respite from his everyday bleakness. However, the tranquility is shattered when Koralnik receives his long-awaited assignment—his first hit.
Thrust into a tumultuous nocturnal odyssey with Rosa by his side, Koralnik's meticulously planned mission spirals into chaos. The shocking revelation that his target is a fellow operative brings his code of conduct under critical scrutiny. Torn between allegiance to the secret programme and a yearning to break free from his unfulfilled assassin existence, Koralnik faces an existential crisis.
The enigmatic Rosa, a master of deception herself, pushes him to confront the lies that have permeated his life. As their intricate web of deceit unravels, Koralnik must choose between preserving the secrecy of his deadly occupation or severing ties with his past to carve a new path forward.
