Panic

Alex is a hitman who has followed in his father's footsteps, but he has reached a point where the work has become unbearable. He keeps his profession hidden from his wife Martha and his young son, presenting himself instead as an ordinary businessman. Wanting to leave the killing behind, he starts seeing a therapist, Josh, and in the waiting room he meets Sarah, a much younger woman, and begins an affair with her. His father refuses to accept that Alex wants out, and the pressure on both sides of his life keeps building.
