THE BAKER

SYNOPSIS

Can’t sleep? Hate your job? Hate the city? Kill people for a living? Meet Milo - he knows how you feel.

Milo’s a hit-man on the edge. When something snaps inside his head and he fails to fulfil a contract, he has to escape the city to avoid the wrath of his employers.

Pursued by a ruthless colleague with a thing for rubber gloves, he hides out in a remote Welsh village, where he is mistaken for the new baker.

Forced to bake to maintain the cover, what he discovers is nothing short of a revelation – when he bakes, all his worries seem to disappear. Baking is therapy.

When sparks fly with the beautiful local vet, he decides to start a new life as a baker.

But as the villagers discover his true identity and start ordering hits on one another, things start to get messy. He’s about to discover that you can’t have your cake and eat it.
