The story begins in a New York City apartment building, where 8-year-old Aurora (Sophie Sloan) hires her assassin neighbor (Mads Mikkelsen in a much-hyped Hannibal reunion) to kill the monster living underneath her bed. As expected, the hitman (labeled “Intriguing Neighbor” in the credits) isn’t too enthused by the assignment, and doesn’t believe Aurora’s tall tales. He has bigger problems of his own to deal with: his job has put a big target on his back.
