When Harry found out he had six weeks to live, something snapped...and it wasn't his camera.

However, there's just one small problem with Harry's master plan - the cancer diagnosis is totally inaccurate and now he's got a hitman on his trail and several policemen wanting to talk to him about some murders...Read moreLess
