A high stakes professional hit man, who calls himself Damien, leaves a graveyard of dead bodies in his path. The media has dubbed him "The Bag Man" — when he leaves your town, a body bag will be required. Attempting to pass himself off as an FBI agent, he learns too late that his long time friend who lives in the same small town of northwestern Oklahoma is indeed an agent for the FBI — undercover to stop a ring of organized crime. Early in his profession as a hired killer, Damien sets a rule for himself to never leave a job unfinished that he has been paid for. But the one time he breaks that rule, will haunt him to the end. Accepting a job to hit a wealthy diamond broker, who turns out to be the uncle to someone in his home town, proves to be his downfall. When the law comes to his home town to investigate the nephew, Damien is exposed and is forced to start killing his only real friends. Figuring out which of the men in this small town is the true FBI agent, and who Damien really is, is the mystery.
