A paranoid security consultant is contacted by an unknown woman claiming he’s the target of an organisation that makes assassinations look like accidents, however, as he struggles to discover why he’s been targeted, he’s confronted with conflicting stories of his own actions.

When a milquetoast delivery man discovers he's the target of an assassination plot he has 24 hours to discover who is after him, why, and how to stop them.? (29 words)

"Milquetoast" rather than "Paranoid" because the latter entails the possibility he could be fantasizing the whole conspiracy.? And if that's the final reveal -- that's all in his head -- well, imho, it's not nice to fool an audience like that unless you've got some really clever way to fool them and make them enjoy being played for dupes.?? And if you do, good luck.

"Delivery man" rather than "security consultant " to create more suspense, more mystery -- why is?the most innocuous of men, the least likely candidate for an assassination being targeted?

fwiw

I am left with questions about what the story is about. ?I believe leaving your reader with questions is a bad thing. ?I don't want to leave people wondering what the story is.

Here is my question.

Is it real or does his paranoia make him believe he had uncovered something?

Plus the predicting part of your line and the accidents are too far apart. ?You need to make a more immediate connection.

"disguising assassinations as accidents by...."

I can see where you are headed.
