Gary is an unassuming professor of Psychology and Philosophy. For excitement, he joins a team of cops who monitor people who are trying to hire a hit man. The excitement takes a leap, when the cop pretending to be a hit man is suspended, and Gary is pushed into the role of hit man Ron. With his background and research capabilities, he does a better job than his predecessor in playing that role convincingly.
This starts to unravel when a woman asks for help to be freed from a suffocating husband, and he talks her into simply leaving him. Sometime later, "divorced", she seeks him out and they have an affair. But then the other cop comes back from suspension and wants his job back, while one outing too many has the couple discovered by the "ex-" husband.
I found the fake hit man angle interesting, since it is in the news - an agent from India tried to hire a hit man in the U. S. to eliminate a Sikh separatist living there. There are interesting scenes of the professor talking with his students about good and evil, crime and punishment. There are also court scenes where defense attorneys effectively accuse him of entrapment. But the central romance is hot, accompanied by the mandatory secrecy and threat of danger.
