As children, Paul Morris (Paul Moder) and his future wife Helen (Helen Hopkins) witness Colin "The Snake” Adder (Frank Bren) assassinate two stand-over men who had been abusing a kindly neighbourhood prostitute. Paul is inspired by this seemingly noble act to become a “hit-man” himself when he grows up, but one who only kills “bad guys.”
Flash to the present, and despite some awkward complications, Paul is a loving husband to Helen, adoring father to Emma (Emma-Rose Hillary), best friend and business partner to George (Kevin Hopkins) as well as a kind, generous, and (foolishly) trusting bloke, working as a struggling freelance killer for anyone who wants someone nasty done away with. His biggest problem, something, or should that be everything, goes wrong whenever he tries to do a hit. Paul just needs a decent break, that one big “hit” to get him some real respect, so he can be just like his hero “The Snake”.

SNAK: Sensitive New Age Killer is a dry film that takes the Little Aussie Battler™ out of Struggle Street™ and onto Big-time Boulevard™. The script needs a bit of polishing but it's good for a night on the couch.
