Plots(1)
Following a job that's gone very badly wrong, two hitmen Ray and Ken are sent to Bruges by their boss Harry and told to lie low and await instructions. Ken falls in love with the cobbled streets and canals of the picturesque city but for Ray it's torturous boredom and he upsets both locals and tourists. When the call finally comes from Harry it may not be the ticket out he was hoping for. (Second Sight)
