But trouble has a way of finding Taro. When a group of assassins targets him, his legendary past resurfaces, throwing him back into the world of hitmen he desperately wanted to escape. Now, Taro must juggle his duties as a doting family man with his deadly past, all while keeping his secret identity hidden from his unsuspecting family.
