A Nova Scotia woman hires a hitman to kill her husband. But he turns out to be an undercover cop. Then, in a case of questionable justice, she gets off.

It's the plot of a seedy Hollywood thriller. Nicole Ryan, a small town school teacher from Digby County, Nova Scotia was desperate to escape a loveless marriage. But rather than go for a divorce, she decided it would be more expedient to have her husband murdered. So she hired a hit man to kill Mike Ryan for a cool $25,000. However, the man simply took the money and bolted. But that didn’t stop the woman, who appeared hell bent on murder. She kept shopping around the county for an assassin, and after two more failed attempts, she reeled in a trigger man. Or at least she thought he had. Unfortunately for Nicole, and luckily for Mike, the would-be killer turned out to be an undercover RCMP officer posing as a gun for hire.
