His life changes when a reckless DEA agent kills his neighbors, leaving their 12-year-old daughter, Mathilda, orphaned.

Detailed Synopsis of Léon: The Professional
Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner". But when his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent, he becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda. Before long, Mathilda's thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Léon's footsteps.
