PlotA skilled assassin, trained from a young age at the notorious Ruska Roma ballet academy, seeks vengeance after her family is brutally murdered by unknown assailants. Driven by grief and a desire for justice, she uses her unique blend of lethal combat skills and ballet precision to track down clues, navigating a dark underworld filled with shifting allegiances and deadly adversaries. Along the way, she crosses paths with members of a secret society of killers, who adhere to their own strict codes and operate under the enigmatic High Table’s power. As she delves deeper, old traumas are awakened, and she is forced to confront not only her past, but also the sobering reality of what her training has made her.
Guided by a wary mentor connected to her past and encountering figures both allied and antagonistic from the shadowy world of assassins, the protagonist’s journey uncovers hidden conspiracies that reach further than she imagined. With each step, she faces betrayal, escalating violence, and moral dilemmas that test her resolve. The balance between her humanity and the cold efficiency demanded by her mission becomes increasingly precarious. As the stakes climb, she must decide how far she is willing to go to honor her lost loved ones—and whether redemption lies at the end of her path.

A worthy spin-off: engaging action, stellar 4K (1.78:1 HEVC) and dynamic Dolby Atmos; extras pack deleted/extended scenes but feel slight.
