Michael Hendricks is not a good man. He doesn't deserve a good life. But he is very good at his job. He's the killing kind. He knows he's a bad person, but he still has a code: he doesn't work for anyone but himself, and he never kills civilians. He hits only hitters.

It's not a bad way to make a living, but it's a great way to make enemies. And now the FBI and the Mafia have Hendricks in their sights, he's about to learn just how good he really is.
