Dead in a Week (Or Your Money Back)
After 27-year-old William (Aneurin Barnard) fails at his ninth attempt at suicide, he decides to take up a genial 65-year-old hitman, Leslie (the ever-excellent Tom Wilkinson), on his offer to help out. Leslie has quotas to meet to keep his membership in an assassin’s guild, but when William meets the woman of his dreams (Freya Mavor) things get more complicated for both men. An engaging black comedy also starring Christopher Eccleston.
