Film Description:

Synopsis

'GWG: Girl With Gun' is a film about Gwen Hunter, whose best friend Mitzi and on-and-off love Dan thinks she is an ordinary 20-something working woman. In reality, she is the Nightingale, an assassin who helps the innocent when they cannot help themselves. The film begins while she is on assignment to assassinate the notorious drug lord, Alfonse Abrams, who has been selling crystal meth to children. While successful, she gets hurt in the process, which Mitzi comments on when Gwen meets her for brunch. Gwen has to cover up the truth and makes an excuse which Mitzi buys, the conversation now focusing on Dan calling her again for another date after she messed things up last time. She is determined not to screw things up again. Later on that night, Gwen is by herself in her darkened apartment, in deep thought about her double life. She wonders whether it is worth it, having come so close to death only this morning. She then gets another assignment to assassinate the underworld Mob Boss, who happens to be at the same restaurant she is meeting Dan at. While there, Gwen is distracted and loses focus, which turns off Dan, when Ninja Girl, another astute assassin, successfully comes to the Mob Boss' rescue in a martial arts match of a lifetime. Her defeat, Dan's rejection of her and Mitzi's perfect, relaxed life leads Gwen to further contemplate the dichotomy that is her own existence, and what her next move will be.
