Life takes a strange turn for bumbling Guy Normal (Danny Nucci) when he and a friend decide to quit their dead-end postal jobs. As they turn in their uniforms, Guys friend goes Postal and kills everyone in sight leaving only the security camera to record Guy running away. Now accused of murders he didn't commit, Guy tries to flee the country, only to be spotted at the airport. The law is on his tail and Guy has nowhere to run. To add to Guys troubles, he is recruited by a high-priced assassination organization run by The Arranger (Ben Gazzara). They make Guy their test subject, erase his memory, and train him to be a ruthless killer. Guy fails his first assignment to kill an innocent man. Confused, he turns to a young employee (Hiep Thi Le) for help. Guy wants out, she wants out. To save them both, Guy must take on the assassins, and beat the murder rap or die trying.
