Assassin-for-hire, John Connor, never misses his target. But he's tired of watching men die and wants to retire his gun and return to his native Ireland. His iron-hard boss, McNeal, has one more assassination assignment, and he picks his top marksman, Connor, for the job. Connor at first refuses, but McNeal threatens Kathleen - Connor’s estranged wife. Connor is persuaded to do the job. Arranging for Kathleen to go away, Connor turns his back on the contract. It’s not long before McNeal and his men are seeking revenge for Connor’s disobedience. Finally, Connor and McNeal are the last two players left standing in the deadly game which no-one really wins...
