Return of the Reaper

What Return of the Reaper is about

Isaac Kane looks like an ordinary single father having a rough time, but he used to be the most feared killer in the world. He walked away from that life because of a promise to his dying wife: no more killing. Now his days are about scraping by and raising his daughter.

From there, the story becomes a vigilante mission through the Russian Mafia, as a man who tried to disappear steps back into the legend that once terrified the worst people around. Expect a hit-man comeback story with martial arts, hidden-identity tension, mafia intrigue, and a lot of violence, told in short episodes that keep the pressure on.
