Story
Hit man Cleve approaches writer/cop Dennis about a story for his next book: How Cleve made a living, working for one of the most powerful politicians in the country. To get the story right, they travel around the country to gather statements and evidence, while strong forces use any means they can to keep the story untold.
Summary
Cleve, a seasoned hitman, sought out Dennis, a writer with a secret past as a cop, proposing a risky collaboration. Cleve wanted his gruesome tales of serving a powerful politician to be immortalized in Dennis' next book. To authenticate the narrative, they embarked on a cross-country journey to collect statements and evidence, unaware that potent forces were hell-bent on silencing their story by any means necessary.
