In order to save Kiki, and himself, he must temporarily return to that job he's trying to forget - he must become that assassin again. It's flirty fun with a hint of terror in Pasadena, California as Kiki and Trace fall in love, and Trace must reconcile the deadly part of his past once and for all.
