- A vacationing woman meets her ideal man, leading to a swift marriage. Back at home, however, their idyllic life is upset when they discover their neighbors could be assassins who have been contracted to kill the couple.
- Spencer Aimes is just your average, undercover, government-hired super-assassin accustomed to a life of exotic European locales, flashy sports cars and even flashier women. But when he meets Jen Kornfeldt, a beautiful, fun-loving computer tech recovering from a bad break-up, he finds true love...and happily trades international intrigue for domestic bliss. Three years later, Spencer and Jen are still enjoying a picture-perfect marriage - that is, until the morning after Spencer's 30th birthday. That's when Spencer and Jen learn he's the target of a multi-million dollar hit. Even worse, the hired killers have been stalking the happy couple for years, and could be anyone: friends, neighbors, the grocery store clerk, even that crabby old guy shuffling across the street. Now Spencer and Jen are on the run for their lives. As their suburban paradise turns into a paranoid game of dodge-the-bullet, they must find out who wants Spencer dead and why, all the while trying to save their marriage, manage his in-laws, keep up neighborly appearances ... and just plain survive.—Lionsgate
- Jen Kornfeldt (Katherine Heigl) travels to Nice, France, with her parents (Tom Selleck & Catherine O'Hara) after a break-up. Mr. Kornfeldt admires Jen for being safe, while Mrs. Kornfeldt says she has too many rules and is not spontaneous enough. She meets Spencer Aimes (Ashton Kutcher) in the lift of her hotel and agrees to join him later for drinks. He sneaks aboard a boat, planting a bomb on a helicopter (of a suspected arms dealer), then arrives for his date with Jen. When the helicopter takes off, Spencer triggers the bomb.
After a night of drinking, Spencer, unaware Jen has fallen asleep, reveals he is a professional assassin (after Jen had revealed that she is a normal girl and not spontaneous or adventurous. She came on vacation with her parents). Despite the advice of his boss, Holbrook (Martin Mull), Spencer quits contract killing and begins a relationship with Jen, eventually asking her father, Mr. Kornfeldt for his blessing to marry her. Mr. Kornfeldt is reluctant as Spencer is admittedly jobless. But he gives in, when Spencer says that Jen is not a China doll, and their being together is not dependent on Mr. Kornfeldt.
Three years later, Spencer and Jen have settled into married life. Spencer has started his construction business. When she surprises him with tickets to Nice for his birthday, he is less than enthusiastic, which Jen's friends convince her is a sign he is bored with their relationship. Spencer receives a "romantic" postcard (it says "Come see me - XOXX H") from Holbrook with an ultimatum to take another assignment. Trying to refuse the job over the phone (he had tracked Holbrook's location down using his codes), he hangs up suddenly when Jen's father arrives, prompting suspicion; he also notices the postcard. Mr. Kornfeldt brings Spencer to a surprise birthday party, where Spencer's distraction over the assignment (Spencer had tried to call Holbrook back, but the phone was not answered) strengthens Jen's doubts about his commitment, further fueled in the morning when he rushes her off on her business trip.
Jen decides not to leave and returns home to find Spencer fighting off his best friend Henry (Rob Riggle) (who had pretended to be drunk at the surprise party and thus slept over at the couch in Spencer's house), secretly a fellow assassin who reveals that a $20 million bounty has been placed on Spencer and that anyone in his life could be an assassin.
A sniper opens fire on the house, and Spencer and Jen flee. They lead Henry on a car chase through the neighborhood and ram his car onto metal bars, killing him. Spencer tells Jen that he is an assassin, and he was recruited right after his parents died. He has killed 14 targets till date. After they find Holbrook dead in his hotel room, Jen vomits and realizes she might be pregnant. Jen wants to go to her parents, but Spencer does not want to involve them. Spencer wants to report Holbrook's death and wants to figure out who ordered the hit on Holbrook and him. But the HQ says that Holbrook was no longer an active agent.
At Spencer's office (Looking through Henry's computer, they find photos of their life. Spencer is very sure that some of pics on the laptop were taken by Jen's dad, Jen takes a pregnancy test, and he is attacked by his secretary Vivian (Katheryn Winnick). But Spencer, with Jen's distraction, manages to kill her. Jen's test is positive, and despite Spencer's pleas, she drives off alone as she feels Spencer cannot keep her and her child safe. Spencer is attacked by a delivery driver, who is run over and killed by one of Spencer's co-workers, Olivia (Lisa Ann Walter). Olivia wants the bounty for herself and tries to run him over, but Jen returns and rams Olivia's car into a fuel tank, which Spencer shoots. The car explodes, killing Olivia in the process.
Spencer and Jen discuss their future together and return home, evading a couple next door, Mac (Kevin Sussman) and Lily (Alex Borstein), also assassins. Making their way through the neighborhood block party, they enter the house to retrieve Spencer's bug-out bag. Spencer subdues the neighbors, while Jen's best friend Kristen (Casey Wilson), another assassin, holds Jen's mother hostage in a Mexican standoff with Jen.
Jen's father arrives and kills Kristen; in a standoff with Spencer, he reveals that he ordered the hit. Aware of Spencer's career all along, Mr. Kornfeldt explains that he was a former operative himself, and had been Spencer's target in Nice; he embedded the assassins in Spencer and Jen's lives. The postcard from Holbrook led Mr. Kornfeldt to believe that Spencer had resumed his old job, so he activated the assassins.
To prove he has truly left his old job behind, Spencer drops his gun, assuring Mr. Kornfeldt he has no intention of killing him. Jen, now convinced, reveals her pregnancy to her parents. And her father, after killing one last assassin, drops his gun as well, and the family makes peace by building a trust circle. Months later, Spencer - growing a mustache to emulate Mr. Kornfeldt - and Jen leave her parents to babysit their child, guarded by lasers.
