The play begins with a killer scene: Baxter arrives home late from the office with his cool, sexy coworker, Abby. There he needles his mousy wife, Gwen, while Abby tells a scurrilously misogynist joke–interrupted when Gwen pulls out a gun and drops her husband with a single bullet to the heart.
Abby’s mission is hampered by two other members of Ramone’s death squad: Lucy, who prefers to kill by lethal injection, usually administered after mercy sex, and well-meaning but clueless Mike, who has a habit of declaring his love for Abby at inopportune moments. But the biggest problem is that Gwen really doesn’t want to be an assassin–she just wants to be a mom to her five-year-old daughter, Tess.
