The Gunman
Eight years after fleeing the Congo following his assassination of that country's minister of mining, former assassin Jim Terrier is back, suffering from PTSD and digging wells to atone for his violent past.

But a few years later, after giving up those kind of work, all the sudden it comes back to haunt him when some unknown men comes…
