Damian Lewis plays Milo, a hitman who has developed a conscience and with a contract out on his head hides out in a remote Welsh village to evade fellow killer Bjorn. He takes the job of local baker to escape suspicians, but when Eggs finds his stash of guns the secret is out, not that Milo is aware of it. With frequent requests of "a chocolate cake... for the wife" he believes his skills as a baker must be improving, not realising the hidden meaning behind them.
