Here’s the fill synopsis:
“Britain’s top secret agent, now in his sixties, discovers he has six months to live. Now, he must choose between a gentle decline or going after everyone he thinks deserves to die. With the state of the world as messy as it is, Sir Roland King has a long list of people he blames for the world’s problems, and those politicians, royals, journalists, and celebrities are about to be rooted out. Before he goes, King wants to upset the status quo and eliminate as much corruption as possible.
With a lifetime of experience, this spy might be impossible to catch. The only man who stands a chance against him? His estranged son, ready to make him pay for abandoning both he and his mother many years ago. This is one standoff you won’t be able to put down.”
