NATHAN PALMER's last contract kill goes awry, and as he faints, the doorbell is ringing. He wakes up five days later, in southern India, with no memory of how he got there. He has contracted Typhoid and recovers with a martial arts family where he learns meditation.
Flash forward to an older version of Nathan, the assassin, who opens his door to a young lady, CLAUDIA. He is reeling from the doorbell sound that plagues him for twenty-four years. She claims to be his daughter.
