       Emmett (Wolf) learns that he has a fatal disease and only months to live. He has no family and no friends. All he has is his job as a homicide detective. Knowing the illness will cause great suffering, he hires a hit man to kill him but not for a few days. He wants to solve his currents case of a serial rapist killer first.

       Then the hospital calls and says the diagnosis was wrong.

       Roth is good as the reluctant but ruthless assassin and Byrne is good as the sleazy middleman. It’s kind of a weird story though.
