Sweeper

An elite assassin. One deadly assignment. A chance at a life he never thought possible.

The business of death has arrived in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Jacob Cohen is an elite assassin whose latest assignment demands more than the elimination of a single target. This time, he must sweep an entire company. A master of deception, he assumes new identities, blends into his surroundings, and disappears without a trace.

The story

But this assignment is different.

Behind the carefully constructed identities of a professional killer is a man increasingly drawn toward something his dangerous world has never allowed: a normal life, and the possibility of falling in love.

As his deadly mission unfolds, the boundary between his two worlds begins to collapse. With enemies closing in and the demons of his past never far behind, Jacob faces a choice that could cost him everything.

Can a man who has made a career out of taking lives find a way to reclaim his own?
