The plot revolves around a hitman (Sutherland – known simply as "The Confessor") and a priest (Hurt) discussing good and evil in a confessional on a snowy night.

Throughout the confession, we are shown flashbacks of the confessor's killings, and times when he has been compassionate, letting his target live, or take their own life rather than being executed.

After several flashbacks and arguments, the confessor forces the priest to reveal his worst sin.

The confessor takes aim and fires a single gunshot at the priest, but misses intentionally.

He holds to his original agreement: that if the priest agreed to hear his confession, he would not kill tonight.

The short nature of the episodes makes it easy for viewers to consume under time constrained environments.
