A human tooth with the number 6 etched into it. An old lover returning after an eight year absence. A dark secret that everyone is after, but no one wants to know... Johnny is at the end of his rope, burnt out by a lifestyle that he both embraces and eschews, unable to cope with the daily contradictions his career presents. He is a criminal, a killer excellent at what he does, but no longer able to rationalize it. Into his life walks Eleni, the daughter of Johnny`s boss, Gravas. She presents him the mysterious tooth and a message: "I`m in trouble, Johnny. Someone is trying to kill me." Deeper Johnny falls into the mystery, deeper he falls into the life he was trying to escape; killers with a penchant for black jelly beans, demented dentists, lost love affairs, and an impromptu exhumation of a woman dead nearly sixteen years. Soon he comes to realize that nothing is what it seems.
