Drama Killer
A bizarre hitman with a soft spot for animals and a taste for cowboy gear gets handed an outrageous assignment. A gambler and a jockey have cooked up a scheme: rig the race, push a sluggish long shot to a shocking win, and walk away with a fortune from the racetrack owner’s pocket. But the owner gets wise to the plan. Determined to shut it down before it starts, he brings in the killer to clean house. Now faced with a fat payday and a moral dilemma, the hitman stands at a crossroads — stick to the job, or help the poor sap escape the crosshairs? One horse sets off a chain reaction that lays bare the greed and humanity buried in every heart.
