Thriller
Eddie Miller, est coursier dans une entreprise de blanchisserie. Mais il est avant tout un homme rongé de solitude qui n’arrive ni à se faire des amis, ni à avoir des relations féminines. Cet échec incessant le perturbe au point qu’il a envie de tuer. On ne sait rien de lui. Peut-être est-ce un ancien soldat, car il manie les armes avec une grande précision. Son modus operandi est de se mettre à l’affût et de flinguer sa victime d’un coup précis de carabine. Il ne rate jamais sa cible. Mais il a conscience de son état, il lutte même contre ses mauvais penchants criminels : il se brûle la main droite pour se priver de tuer, ou encore il envoie un message désespéré à la police en la priant de mettre fin à son calvaire.
