Jimmy Fallen returns from World War Two as a broken man who follows his father into the family business of murder for hire. The Irish Italian mobster has built a reputation that catches the attention of Tommy LaCasa, who offers him the most lucrative contract of his career: assassinate President John F. Kennedy. Fallen accepts the job and begins his methodical planning process. Then he meets Hannah, a Holocaust survivor whose warmth begins to thaw his frozen heart. As their romance deepens in the streets of the Bronx, Fallen discovers what his empty life has been missing. Love transforms him, and for the first time he considers walking away from a contract. But the LaCasa family cannot allow him to live with their secrets. They send a kill team after both Fallen and Hannah, turning the hunter into the hunted.
