Keikka menee puihin ja pomo Harry lähettää palkkamurhaajat Rayn ja Kenin Lontoosta jäähylle idylliseen Bruggen kaupunkiin Belgiaan. Ray inhoaa paikkaa sydämensä pohjasta ja joutuu sen vuoksi törmäyskurssille kaiken ja kaikkien kanssa. Ken puolestaan nauttii kaupungin kauneudesta ja rauhallisuudesta - vaikka joutuukin vahtimaan kuritonta Rayta. Paikallinen Chloë ja huuruava olut sammuttavat Rayn pahimman janon, mutta kun pomo viimein soittaa, Ray ja Ken tajuavat, että tältä lomalta ei ehkä ole paluuta.
