Un killer astuto e spietato sta uccidendo a raffica, nei modi più raccapriccianti, personaggi scelti con cura. Sulle sue tracce ci sono il giovane e ambizioso Mills, alla prima missione, e l'esperto Somerset, ormai prossimo alla pensione; personalità opposte che mal si tollerano a vicenda.

In un soprassalto di dignità decide allora di togliersi la vita per non essere più di peso agli altri: sarà però proprio il suo cane a riconciliarlo involontariamente con il mondo....
