Synopsis: In the near future (or an alternate present) a shadowy company performs hits on high-profile targets by infiltrating the brain of random people close to the target and forcing them to commit the murder and then kill themselves, thus destroying the evidence. Tasya Vos, their top assassin, is becoming increasingly violent and is struggling with keeping her secret identity a secret from her family. Though badly in need of a break, Vos agrees to a new assignment, but this just may be the one that pushes her over the edge.
