In this thriller, an assassin is lured out of retirement with an offer to kill a former gangster who is hiding out in Europe.

He fulfils his mission, but then learns that he has killed the wrong man. Not long afterwards, both the gangster and the drug addict are killed. It is then that the hit man realizes that his assistant is behind the deaths and that he is next on the list. Much of the movie was shot on location in Europe.
