Then, a foreign gang brazenly comes to the hospital to hunt him down.  His nurse, the sole surviving witness to the follow-up shootout, must face an FBI interrogation that unlocks a plot of international intrigue and revenge.  With enough twists and turns, KILL’EM ALL will keep you guessing until the final bullet is fired.
