Keller leads a complicated life as a contract killer, navigating the shadowy underworld where every job comes with its own risks and ethical dilemmas. As he executes each assignment, he grapples with the gravity of his actions and the impact they have on those around him. Despite being shaped by a profession that demands detachment, Keller finds himself pondering the meaning of his work, all while trying to avoid the consequences that may arise from his line of work.
Amidst the tension and moral ambiguity, Keller's journey is one of self-discovery as he confronts the duality of his existence. He cultivates a sense of normalcy outside his deadly occupations, which makes his path increasingly complex. Each interaction brings him closer to understanding who he really is—beyond the facade of an assassin—and whether he can ever escape the life he has chosen.
