Once, Jason Bourne was notorious in the clandestine world of covert-ops as one of the CIA`s most expert international killers for hire. Out of the ashes of his violent past he`s emerged today as a Georgetown professor, living a quiet life, retired from danger-until he narrowly escapes the bullet of a faceless assassin.
