Set in a crowded and pulsating urban metropolis, our story begins with Jack (Kwanten) – a demoralised and demotivated assassin who aspires for more and struggles to define his place in the world as he moves from one assassination to the next. His monotonous days are filled with robotic lovers and a lack of intimacy – but when Jack meets soulful karaoke geisha April (Jillian Nguyen), life as he knows it changes forever...
As he and April’s relationship grows stronger and stronger – Jack grows mysteriously weaker. Just as Jack’s life seems to come together, it begins to fall apart – and his body begins to break down. In need of answers – about both his inexplicable present and unknown past – Jack turns to enigmatic scientist Dr Bergman (Weaving).
Can Dr Bergman help Jack before it’s too late?
