Ex-spy Jacob Keane is drawn back into the shadowy world of international espionage when his former partner Marta reappears after seventeen years, her memory erased, on the run from a pair of deadly, psychopathic assassins.
Kiss Me Deadly (2008)
Queer As Folk’s Robert Gant stars in Kiss Me Deadly as Jacob Keane, a gay ex-spy who can’t seem to escape his former life. Keane is a photographer living the family life in Milan with his loving boyfriend, Paolo, and Julia, the daughter he shares with his lesbian friend, Kyra. Keane is pulled away from his boyfriend and daughter and back into the high-stakes world of international espionage when his former partner Marta (Shannen Doherty) reappears after 17 years. With her memory erased, they now must elude a pair of ruthless assassins and a mysterious villain looking to gain classified information at any cost. What ensues is a fast paced game of cat and mouse as Keane must determine who wants them dead, and why.
Kiss Me Deadly: A Jacob Keane Assignment is the first installment in a new film series from the here! TV network. The film will make its debut in November 2008 and there are plans for at least two more movies. This is similar to what here! has done with Chad Allen’s “Donald Strachey Mysteries” series of movies, where the main character is gay (as is the actor who portrays him) but the story does not delve into his relationship with his lover.
