One Minute Out

Synopsis

In Mark Greaney's electrifying thriller, "One Minute Out," the legendary assassin Court Gentry, known as the Gray Man, finds himself ensnared in a moral quagmire that tests his resolve and principles. While on an operation in Croatia, Gentry stumbles upon a heinous human trafficking ring, a discovery that ignites his personal crusade for justice.
