The whole nine yards: Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski is a mob hitman-turned-informant who ratted on the mob and put his life in jeopardy. He has relocated to suburban Montreal to make a new start. Nick 'Oz' Oseranskiy is Jimmy's next-door neighbor. Nick is a mild-mannered and unhappily married dentist. Nick recognizes Jimmy from the newspaper stories about his mob testimony, and that's when Nick's simple, but boring world turns upside down. The whole ten yards: Thanks to the falsified dental records supplied by his former neighbor Nick 'Oz' Oseransky, retired hitman Jimmy 'The Tulip' Tudeski now spends his days compulsively cleaning his house and perfecting his culinary skills with his wife, Jill, an assassin who has yet to pull off a clean hit. Suddenly, an uninvited and unwelcome connection to their past unexpectedly shows up on the their doorstep: it's Oz. He begs them to help him rescue his wife from the Hungarian mob. To complicate matters even further, the men, who are still out to get Oz, are led by Lazlo Gogolak, a childhood rival of Jimmy's and another notorious hitman.
