Opening segment[]
"We all tell little white lies. We lie about our height, our weight, where we've been and where we're going. And tonight, video game developer Kevin Freeman is about to discover that when his fantasy turns into reality, honesty, in fact, may be the best policy as his little white lies get him into a world of trouble."
Synopsis[]
Kevin Freeman, a male video game developer, masquerades as "Dr. Troy Jackson" at an online dating site.
Of the many women who respond, Kevin selects Alexis as his first date. They meet at a restaurant, and are almost immediately set upon by assassins. Alexis saves Kevin and hustles him to safety.
As an orphan, Alexis was trained as an Organization assassin in a remote Himalayan monastery. When she left the Organization, Raven, the head of the company, targeted her for death; by being with her, Kevin has also become a target.
Alexis takes Kevin to a party at the loft of Archie Becker, the Organization's accountant. At the party, Kevin encounters his mousy co-worker, Emily, who reveals her inner dominatrix. As he is about to indulge in Emily's domineering ceremony, he is called away by Alexis, who needs him to help her get information from Archie.
Kevin poses as the "Owl", a mysterious international assassin, and menaces Archie. At the very last second, Alexis "saves" Archie by knocking Kevin unconscious, then tortures him to death in order to get him to reveal Raven's whereabouts. Alexis and Kevin go to Raven's hideout to confront him.
Raven thought Alexis had gone over to another outfit, but believes her when she says she just wanted to get out and have a normal life. Unfortunately, he still plans to kill her and Kevin – until Kevin reveals that he designed a zombie game called Planet of the Undead.
Raven is a fan, and invites the duo to dinner. If Kevin, who is to serve as Alexis's food taster, survives the dinner, he may even get a second date...
