Presidenten vet att det är ett livsfarligt uppdrag. Allt står på spel; om han utfärdar ordern kan han eliminera ett globalt hot en gång för alla, men om uppdraget misslyckas kommer han ställas inför riksrätt och hotet mot nationen kommer förvärras mångdubbelt. Så presidenten vänder sig till de enda som kan lyckas med det omöjliga: Will Robie och Jessica Reel. Det finns ingen yrkesmördare som kan mäta sig med dem. Men det finns högt uppsatta personer som misstror dem och som inte litar på att de ska lyda order.

Utan förmågan att avfyra ett vapen är han vilse, i jobbet såväl som i livet. När hans far åklagas för mord återvänder han till sin hemstad, en stad där ingenting egentligen har förändrats sedan han lämnade den.
