Stephen King's Billy Summers

Stephen King's Billy Summers was released on August 03, 2021 and we expect to see the weird, scary and interesting storytelling side

 of Stephen King. Want to know more about Stephen King? Check out his books!

Billy Summers is a man in a room with a gun. He’s a killer for hire and the best in the business. But he’ll do the job only if the target is a truly bad guy. And now Billy wants out. But first there is one last hit. Billy is among the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, a Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done. So what could possibly go wrong?

How about everything!
