Jack’s bloody retreat to a hideaway cabin in Sweden, where assassins attempt to take him out, and he’s forced to kill his innocent lover as part of his getaway, has convinced him it’s time to retire.
Jack flees to Italy and calls his longtime employer, Pavel (Johan Leysen), for help. Pavel says Jack is losing his edge and getting sloppy, but agrees to help him escape to a small Italian town until the heat from the recent killings dissipates.
Jack is wary of new places and faces, but he reluctantly befriends the town’s priest (Paolo Bonacelli), who quickly sees the hired killer for the troubled soul he is. For companionship, Jack employs the services of a beautiful prostitute, Clara, played by Violante Placido, who is frequently asked to shed clothing, perhaps to keep audiences awake. Clara quickly falls for Jack, even as he attempts to keep his distance, to avoid a repeat of what happened in Sweden.
