Barry is a disillusioned Midwesterner who became a hitman at the urging of Monroe Fuches, an old friend who's become his handler. Sent to LA to kill a young actor, Barry accidentally interrupts an acting class and gets bitten by the acting bug as he bonds with teacher/guru Gene Cousineau and his students, including a pretty girl named Sally Reed.
A frustrated Barry misses an acting class to honor an obligation. Detectives Moss and Loach try to piece together a murder puzzle. Gene presses Barry to take more risks. Sally is thrown for a loop during an audition, and turns to Barry for comfort. The Chechens rejoice when a legendary assassin arrives.
Barry finds that distancing himself from Fuches and the Chechens might be harder than he thought. Sally is dismayed to learn that an audition arranged by a prospective agent has strings attached. Gene promises Ross a bombshell, but only over dinner. Barry invites a Marine buddy and his two pals to a party, where a rising actor threatens Barry's claim on Sally.
Barry looks to hit the reset button with Sally, but a scene from Macbeth triggers a reaction that pushes them farther apart. Moss moves to interrogate members of Gene's acting class after a shooting video surfaces. Barry finds himself in a quandary after having to team up with a reckless new acquaintance named Taylor in a dangerous mission to wipe out a group of Bolivians.
Barry tries to fly solo at a remote airstrip, but Taylor still wants in. Vacha looks to exact revenge on the man who killed his brother, despite Pazar's hands-off orders. Moss tries to end her association with Gene, but finds herself drawn to his classroom at a critical juncture. Sally lobbies for a major acting challenge.
After a deadly shootout at the airstrip, Barry is forced to make a difficult decision in order to evade capture. Pazar blames Fuches for convincing him to declare war on Cristobal Sifuentes, a ruthless yet civilized Bolivian drug lord. Sally fears her performance in the class production of Macbeth will be compromised, ruining her chance to impress another top Hollywood agent.
