Synopsis

An assassin (Gage) and his would-be target (Chapel) form an unlikely alliance against a corrupt corporation named First Hand International (FHI). Above the law and beyond political scrutiny, Gage's and Chapel's exploits take them deep into the city's underground before they themselves become victims. Only one question remains: Who will kill who first?

Director's Statement

The First Hand Series was a project founded by a team of regular, working class, creative friends. Their goal is to reach the point to make films and episodic series for a daily living.
