Synopsis

In visionary creator Bryan Fuller’s (Hannibal, Pushing Daisies) fantastical and wickedly inventive directorial debut, a 10-year-old girl joins forces with her hitman neighbor to confront each other’s monsters. Young Aurora has a mysterious neighbor (Mads Mikkelsen) who kills real-life monsters; he’s a hitman for hire. So when Aurora needs help killing the monster that she believes ate her entire family, she procures his services. Suspecting that Aurora’s parents may have fallen victim to assassins gunning for him, the neighbor takes the job. To protect her, he’ll need to battle an onslaught of assassins and accept that some monsters are real.
