The ice-cold professional killer Corrado lives in L.A. and periodically carries out contract killings, which his contact gangster Frank gives him in the service of the underworld. Corrado has long been flirting with the idea of leaving when Frank promises him no less than half a million dollars for the elimination of the already bedridden mafia godfather Vitelli. When he carries out this last assignment, the victim's beautiful nurse accidentally gets in his way. And when Corrado is not ice-cold for a single time, he promptly has the mafia on his heels.
