James, an assassin from the 29th century is sent to a cruise ship in 2017 to kill his target, Lilly. However, when James and his partner, Mot, arrive, Mot gets crippling seasickness and James loses his dossier. Without instructions or a partner, James enjoys himself on the cruise: buffets, booze, dancing, limitless ice cream. Unwittingly, James falls in love with Lilly. When he realizes what has happened, James must make a choice between obligation and joy. Time Kill Love Cruise explores duty, love, friendship, and freedom. It was filmed surreptitiously onboard a cruise ship, and on location in Key West, Florida and Cozumel, Mexico.
