Monty and the Rabbit

Julia Montgomery (Monty) and Paddy Assenfeld (Rabbit) meet one fateful night at an Irish bar called The Lucky Slut. Their initial encounter is marked by sharp-tongued banter and fiery tension, ending in an angry parting. Days later, their paths cross again, and Julia quickly takes charge of Paddy’s fate, dragging him headfirst into a life of crime.

Their partnership begins with the robbery of a local launderette and escalates into chaos when Paddy is unexpectedly drawn into the Mafia, becoming a sicario – a hitman. Together, Monty and Rabbit navigate a thrilling world of danger and deceit, their criminal escapades bound by an unwavering devotion to each other.
