The Mantis

Dad by day, murderer-for-hire by night.

Kabuto appears to be an ordinary man: a stressful job, a complicated marriage and an irritable teenage son. It’s no wonder he’s always seeing his doctor. But the “doctor” is actually his handler, and Kabuto is a killer for hire. He’s almost out – one last job before he quits for good. Then the final contract lands too close to home – putting his unsuspecting family in danger.

With Isaka’s trademark wit and cinematic pace, this is a Tarantino-tinged tale of double lives and moral knots. Can Kabuto save his family, and quit the killing business for good?
