      Ted Snowe operates as a hit man with a twist; instead of killing his targets, he offers them a chance to escape by providing new identities through his unique for-profit witness protection program. His clients, all wise guys, eagerly choose to disappear rather than face death, allowing Ted to profit while enjoying a leisurely life in Portugal between assignments. This unconventional approach to crime blends dark humor with a clever commentary on morality and survival.
