This is no Adventureland.

Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg team up again for American Ultra, a film that follows “activated” secret agent Eisenberg as he kills his way to protect his girlfriend (Stewart). Similar to their amusement park-based first film together, these two are still smoking and doing a heck of a lot of drugs. This time, however, they’re not working at a theme park and instead are getting caught up in murder, espionage and other spy-filled activities.

Sounds like a good time, right?! Not for these two!

The first, NSFW trailer, released by Yahoo, follows Mike and Phoebe as their lives—and relationship—hit a severely bumpy road as Mike discovers he’s a sleeper secret agent who has been “awakened” to realize others are after him. And he’s not just any agent; he’s a pretty good one, too.

“He killed two operatives with a spoon,” one says of Mike’s skills.

Among the agents who are after Mike are played by Topher Grace and Connie Britton. If Mike thought his small-town life filled with pot and other drugs would be it for him, he was wrong. His new life entails a Jason Bourne-like

While on the phone with his girlfriend and soon-to-be fiancé, Eisenberg’s Mike says, “I keep killing people…and there’s a chance I may be a robot.”

American Ultra is directed by Nima Nourizadeh, who told MTV News that at the center of his movie is a romance story, which isn’t mean to dissuade people from seeing it.

“You start with this kind of like sweet love story…I don’t want to turn people off with that, but what’s really unique about this movie is the fact that it’s like this kind of crazy action-comedy, but really at the core there is this like romance and there’s this love story where all he wants to do is to propose to her,” he explained.

Sounds like an adorable-yet-thrilling story!
