Not for the Feint of Heart follows Dom, a young contract killer living in a modern-day British slum and caring for his dying father. Dom’s long buried conscience begins to wake up when the ghost of a victim comes looking for him. As the ghost quietly tortures Dom and as his father’s condition worsens, he has finally to come to terms with the past that has shaped him.
This film looks to de-construct the popular image of the movie assassin. Taking a character that exists in the world and portraying him realistically, rather than create a false truth. The film explores the consequences of murder by showing what is real; it promises not to show the gun go off without showing where the bullet lands.
