An incredibly tense noir-drama in which an assassin is hired to kill the American president. On the way, he and his two partners take over a widow's house in the small town of Suddenly, which is perfectly situated for an ambush. With it only being a matter of time before the president’s arrival, the assassin gets jumpier by the minute – just as the family become ever more desperate to foil his plans. Who is going to crack first?
