The Assassin
The past always has a way of finding you …
Secluded on a remote Greek island, retired assassin Julie has a somewhat thorny reunion with her estranged son, Edward, who is visiting from England. Armed with questions around new information about his father, Edward battles to find the right time to speak to his frustratingly distant mother. But when the moment finally presents itself, things take a deadly turn as Julie’ s dangerous past catches up with her and they are forced to flee the island and go on the run together.
Edward’ s quest for truth clashes with Julie’ s secrecy as they are forced to work together in a fight for survival, testing their dysfunctional relationship to its limits. While uncovering a dark conspiracy they believe to be their only threat, a greater danger emerges that could destroy their relationship entirely. In a race against time and across the globe, Julie fights to save Edward and salvage their relationship as past and present collide, culminating in a dramatic showdown.
