Description
Cast: Allen Baron, Molly McCarthy, Larry Tucker



It’s Christmas in New York City, but Frankie Bono (Allen Baron) is in no mood to celebrate the season. Frankie is a paid assassin from Cleveland just in town to carry out a hit, a man who prefers to remain anonymous and alone, even if friends from the past keep appearing in his path. Writer/director/star Baron presents a grim odyssey, aided by a jazzy score, a sinister voiceover (read by Lionel Stander).
