The Pitch :
" Quentin's life has never been exciting. This young dad, a low-level employee at a urinal manufacturing company, is constantly walked over. Too nice and inconspicuous, he is under constant pressure from his boss, who wants to fire him, and his ex-wife, who is asking for a divorce.
One day, he accidentally witnesses an armed altercation in the restroom of a gas station. With no choice but to intervene, he discovers that the woman he has saved, Blanche, actually works for KNOK, a secret participatory app that allows users to commission murders.
Quentin realizes he can no longer back down. To protect his daughter, he will have no choice but to become a hitman himself, thus beginning his career transition."
The shooting of the series took place over 7 weeks in Troyes and finished in June. The project is currently in post-production after an official selection in the 52' Series category at the prestigious the La Rochelle Fiction Festival in La Rochelle.
