My Neighbor Was Hired To Kill Me

About this drama

Emma Carter is a single mother and an ER nurse, and her new neighbor moved in with one job: kill her within seventy-two hours. His name is Adrian Cross, he's a hired killer, and the copy builds the crack in him immediately. She has an eight-year-old son, Leo, a quiet boy who carries a broken robot from his dead father, and when Leo wanders into Adrian's house and calls him Dad, the hitman's one rule, never kill in front of a child, starts to break. The assignment then unwinds in stages. Adrian protects Emma from a rival assassin, and the trail leads somewhere domestic: her husband Daniel, supposedly dead for three years, is alive and behind the contract, because he wants Emma gone to seize a three-hundred-million-dollar trust that would pass to Leo. The choice is stated as a fork, complete the job or become the father Leo never had, and the pressure compounds from there: federal agents closing in, a second hitman on their trail, and a dangerous alliance between Emma and Adrian that blurs the line between protector and predator. The copy's closing line is worth quoting for tone, the only thing more lethal than a killer is a mother protecting her son. Thirty episodes. Whether Daniel answers for it and who sent the second hitman stay open in the listing.
