There are thousands of ways of killing a man. Just check his briefcase. Arthur Bishop is a "mechanic" - an elite assassin with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly eliminating targets. It's a job that requires professional perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best in the business. But, when his mentor and close friend, Harry, is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed – he wants those responsible dead. His mission grows complicated when Harry's son, Steve, approaches him with the same vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop's trade. Bishop has always acted alone, but can't turn his back on Harry's son. The methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But, while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deception surfaces and those hired to fix problems become problems.
