Perry just wants to get through prom night with Gobi, the Lithuanian exchange student in baggy clothes. He plans to drop her off early and meet his friends. But Gobi transforms into something unexpected: a beautiful, energetic assassin with five targets to eliminate before dawn. She needs Perry to navigate New York's streets, turning him into an unwilling chauffeur for her deadly mission. As they drive from kill to kill, Perry becomes an accidental accomplice to a professional killer. Gobi shoots him, then whispers in his ear that she enjoyed their evening together. What started as an ordinary prom night becomes a dark ride through the city with a killer who might have a heart. Perry discovers that the quiet exchange student hiding behind shapeless dresses is actually a lethal professional, and he's now trapped in her violent world.
