Patrick Dempsey is shedding his sexiest man aura and is stepping into the shoes of a cold-blooded hitman living a double life. However, all that starts to unravel when he begins to experience an early onset of Alzheimer’s.
In “Memory of a Killer,” Angelo Flannery (Dempsey) lives two totally separate lives. In New York City, he’s a fearsome hitman employed by his pal Dutch (Michael Imperioli), an accomplished chef whose restaurant is a front for criminal enterprise, while in sleepy upstate Cooperstown, he’s a copier salesman and father.
“Having built and maintained a brick wall between his two worlds, Angelo has seamlessly juggled and compartmentalized for years,” the series synopsis says. “But now that’s all about to change, because Alzheimer’s is a foe he can’t outrun, and he knows too well how this ends.”
The series is based on “De Zaak Alzheimer (The Alzheimer Case),” a book by Belgian novelist Jef Geeraerts that’s already been adapted for the screen twice: first in a 2003 Belgian film of the same name, then in the 2022 American movie “Memory” starring Liam Neeson.
