PlotFrank Moses, a retired black-ops CIA agent, leads a quiet life, until the day a high-tech assassin shows up to kill him. After surviving the attack, Frank reassembles his old team for an impossible cross-country mission. His motley crew includes Joe, a retired FBI agent with terminal cancer; Marvin, a conspiracy-theorist and weapons expert with severe paranoia; and Victoria, a retired MI6 operative who, despite her genteel façade, is just as deadly as the rest. Realizing they are all marked for termination, Frank and his team set out to break into CIA headquarters to uncover a massive conspiracy. Along the way, Frank reconnects with Sarah, a customer service agent he's been flirting with through phone calls. He kidnaps her for her own safety, and although she's initially reluctant and bewildered, she soon becomes an eager participant in their adventure.
On their mission, they break into the CIA, where they discover clues that lead them to hunt down the attackers one by one. As they delve deeper, the team encounters a web of deceit and betrayal that extends to the highest echelons of power. Amidst gunfights, car chases, and close calls, they race against time to prevent a dark and far-reaching conspiracy from unfolding. Their unique set of skills, old contacts, and unorthodox methods become critical in unraveling a complex scheme that threatens not just their lives but the stability of the world.
