PlotA retired CIA operative, haunted by his past and estranged from his ex-wife and teenage daughter, reluctantly agrees to let his daughter travel to Paris with a friend. His fears soon become reality when, shortly after arriving, his daughter and her friend are kidnapped by human traffickers. After a frantic phone call, he learns of her abduction and immediately embarks on a relentless mission to rescue her. Using his particular set of skills, he dives deep into the criminal underworld of Europe.
