Wild Target

Victor Maynard is a highly skilled assassin who has dedicated his life to the family's legacy of professional killing. He operates with a remarkable efficiency, completing his assignments without any sense of guilt.

After successfully eliminating a target, Victor encounters an unexpected moral quandary regarding the fate of a pet parrot named Roger. Instead of killing the bird, he decides to take it home as a gift for his mother, Louisa.

Louisa celebrates Victor's birthday by giving him a leather-bound book filled with news clippings of his kills. She also expresses concern about his future, questioning why he has no successor and whether he might be gay.

Rose, a cunning thief, successfully sells a forged Rembrandt painting for an impressive £900,000. However, when the fraud is discovered, it puts her life in jeopardy, leading to a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Ferguson, the buyer of the forged painting, hires Victor to eliminate Rose. Victor accepts the job but repeatedly fails to complete the assignment, leading to unintentional mishaps along the way.

To gather information on Rose, Victor sets up surveillance equipment. However, he ends up dozing off, missing critical opportunities to track her movements and secure the hit.

After several failed attempts, Victor finally spots Rose in a parking garage. Just as he considers taking action, he witnesses another assassin preparing to eliminate her, prompting him to intervene.

In a twist of fate, Tony, a seemingly random vagrant, unknowingly saves both Victor and Rose by taking the rival hitman's weapon. Victor, impressed by Tony's audacity, briefly takes him under his wing.

Amidst the chaos, Rose wrongly assumes that Victor is a private investigator and offers him a lucrative protection deal. They check into a hotel, unaware that Ferguson has sent another hitman to eliminate them.

As Victor confronts threats from both Mike and Dixon, a high-speed chase ensues, leading to a frantic hospital visit. He navigates a treacherous landscape filled with betrayal and deception.

Victor brings Rose and Tony to his quiet countryside home, where he mentors Tony in private detective work. However, trouble arises as Louisa reenters their lives with unfinished business.

During their time together, Victor and Rose grow closer, developing an unexpected romantic relationship. However, Rose soon discovers Victor's original intentions to assassinate her, leading to a breakdown of trust.

As Victor tries to protect Rose from impending danger, brutal confrontations with Louisa and Dixon ensue, culminating in a whirlwind of violence and chaos that tests their bonds.

Three years later, Victor and Rose are now a married couple with a child named Angel. They attempt to lead a normal life, but remnants of their tumultuous past loom over them.

The family enjoys a peaceful day outside, but a darkly comedic twist emerges as they find Angel engaging in a mischievous act. Victor watches with a proud smile, hinting at the complexity of their shared experiences.
