Accident 2017

Mike Fallon operates in a shadowy world where his killings are meticulously staged to look like accidents. He is a familiar face at Oasis, a smoky assassins’ pub where retired Big Ray tends the bar and keeps a watchful eye on the clientele. The place hums with a rough-edged crowd, including Finnicky Fred, Tyrone Keogh, who invents and hawks unorthodox weapons that often feel more theatrical than practical. The mood is tense, the rules are unwritten, and loyalty is a currency that can be spent and squandered in a single night.

The routine at Oasis is broken when Mike finishes off an accountant named Archie Rudd and receives a call from Milton, the enigmatic fixer who assigns the killers their missions. Milton wants Mike to collect his payment in a dark alley, a quiet reminder that this life operates by code and consequence. But as Mike steps into the shadows to collect his due, he’s tested by an amateur assassin who tries to interrupt the exchange. Mike disposes of the intruder with ease, and the encounter leaves him with a gnawing suspicion that someone is trying to set him up.

Soon after, Mike learns that his ex-girlfriend Beth has been murdered in a botched burglary, and she was pregnant with his child. The revelation hits hard, and the timing could not be worse: the supposed killers overdosed after the fact, which raises a troubling possibility—that this hit may be tied to someone who wanted Beth silenced for a larger reason. The thread pulls tight when Mike suspects Mick and Mac, two veterans who specialized in disguising assassinations as random street crimes. He confronts them, and they confess to Beth’s murder but insist they didn’t know who ordered the hit. Enraged, Mike fights and defeats them, but Big Ray’s hard truth lands hard: never let emotion drive the job.

Seeking answers, Mike returns to Beth’s apartment and presses Beth’s girlfriend Charlie for any connection Beth had with powerful interests. Were Beth’s environmentalist activities drawing lethal attention? A tense dispute erupts, and the situation grows worse when Cliff bursts in and attacks Charlie. In the ensuing chaos, Mike unintentionally kills Cliff, a violent reminder of the price paid when passion overrides precision. He tracks Milton down and tortures him to aurally unearth who ordered the hit on Beth—only to learn that a man named Leonard Kent was involved. The revelation triggers a new order: Big Ray, despite his own reservations, orders a hit on Mike for killing Cliff, a decision that tightens the noose around Oasis’s shadows.

A flashback peels back the curtain on Mike’s origins. As a 15-year-old paperboy, he endures a daily barrage of bullying on his route. While hiding from the torment, he spots a man leaving a house moments before it explodes. After weeks of surreptitious surveillance, Mike confronts the man and blackmails him into teaching him how to become an assassin. The man’s mentorship is supervised by Big Ray, who becomes a paternal figure and introduces Mike to the grim discipline of professional killing. Ray’s photographs keep a record of Mike’s earliest sins, a silent warning never to betray the pact they share. This lineage—the instruction, the fear, the first kill—shapes Mike into a ruthless, precise instrument.

Back in the present, Charlie reveals Beth had gathered information on Pankot Petroleum, a corrupt Indian oil company, with the help of Archie Rudd. Mike confronts Kent, who hands over a recording of another man ordering Beth’s death. The moment escalates as Mick and Mac arrive, and Kent is killed in the ensuing confrontation; Mac dies in a fatal case of friendly fire, and Mike uses a fire extinguisher to incapacitate Mick. The violence is unyielding, and the line between hunter and hunted grows thinner with every blow.

Pete makes a bold move, ambushing Mike outside, but Mike dispatches him with ease. He chooses a rare mercy for Finnicky Fred, knocking him out to keep the peace and prevent a larger bloodbath, and then heads to the home of Kent’s employer, oil magnate Atal Zim. There, he faces another brutal test: Jane—armed with her katana—meets Mike in a lethal duel, and she falls to his blade as he rejects Zim’s bribes and decisively decapitates the tycoon, ending a corrupt dynasty with a single ruthless act.

Back at Oasis, the final act unfolds. Mike exposes Milton by playing the rest of Kent’s recording, which proves Milton ordered the hit on Mike and orchestrated a chain of assassinations to clean up loose ends. Enraged, Big Ray assaults Milton in a volatile confrontation that mirrors the violence around Oasis for years. In a grim sign of twisted mercy, Mike offers Milton a band-aid that Fred had developed to counter poisoning, a small, stark reminder of the fragile human glue that holds this dark world together. Milton succumbs, and Big Ray tells Mike to leave Oasis behind—not to return—before Mike steps away from the bar’s glow.

With the city’s shadows closing in behind him, Mike chooses to embrace a different kind of justice. He walks away from Oasis and away from the life that tethered him to a brutal code, vowing to protect the city as a vigilante who acts when the system fails, even if that means operating outside its boundaries. The story closes on a choice that feels earned and inevitable: a man shaped by training and trauma stepping into the night to become the city’s unseen protector.
