Hit & Miss

An assassin kills their mark and is revealed to be a woman, Mia. However she is a pre-op transsexual, who was born Andy and receives a message from ex-lover Wendy, who is dying of cancer and who is the mother of Andy's child, eleven year old Ryan. Wendy dies but makes Mia Ryan's legal guardian,along with his half-siblings, teen-aged Riley and the younger Levi and Leoni.

In revenge for his beating John threatens to put the farm-house up for sale, rejecting Mia's offer to buy it. The kids blame her and are still wary of having a transsexual guardian but Levi breaks down and admits to Mia how much he misses his mother and even Riley comes to appreciate that having another female presence in the house lightens her work-load.

Mia has now established a better relationship with her new family despite Leoni's insistence that she can see her dead mother. She forces John at gunpoint to sell her the farm and he agrees but takes it out on his wife and on Riley, whom he demands has an abortion when she announces her pregnancy.

Whilst finally bonding with her young charges Mia is finding it hard to juggle domesticity with her work for Eddie, who refuses to let up on hits. A mysterious man temporarily kidnaps Leoni and, when he returns her, gets set upon by the family. He turns out to be Liam, Wendy's brother who has an interest in looking after the kids.

Mia discovers John's body but dissuades the traumatized Riley from involving the police, instead calling in Eddie, who helps her chop up the body and get rid of it in pieces. Mia has - fully-clothed - sex with Ben but is annoyed to find evidence that he has been with another woman whilst Riley's pants are found in John's car at much the same time that his head washes ashore.

Mia meets Claire, her mother, at a funfair but has trouble in persuading her to accept her as a woman and is attacked by her brother. Riley is about to admit to John's murder but Liam takes the rap for her instead. Mia carries out her first hit but bungles the second. Eddie turns up, telling Mia that unless he kills her he will be killed by the people who ordered the hit.
