The thought of killing someone should be terrifying: if it’s your job, you’re probably in the wrong line of work. Months into an incredibly unsuccessful career, Brad has just about managed not to get himself fired, or worse… He’s been asking himself if "or worse" is worse than going back to Caffe Nero, but might not have long enough to find out. Fed up with beans for dinner, Brad swears that something has to change. Will he walk away with his morals intact, or crumble under the pressures of his “assassin" line manager.
