action
Milo is a dissatisfied professional killer. When Milo ambushes his last victim, he has a change of heart and offers his victim to go into hiding instead of being killed. Bjorn, a rival killer who works for the same organization, shows up there and kills the man anyway. Bjorn makes it clear that he will use Milo's wrongdoing to get the killing contract for him.
Leo, an acquaintance of Milo who lives in the retirement home, gives him the opportunity to go into hiding in a small Welsh village. Milo recognizes his chance and opens a bakery since the village no longer has one. He is slowly gaining the trust of the bizarre villagers who pursue all kinds of unusual activities. Neighbors' garden gnomes are smashed with hammers and every now and then a sheep explodes.
At the end there is a confrontation with Bjorn and a duel over several branches of arms in a ruined castle. The residents reflect on their community and save Milo, who from now on rebuilds the bakery with Rhiannon and integrates himself in the village.
