After being honorably discharged for disobeying a direct order during a hostage rescue mission in Iraq, Triton struggles to adjust. He attempts to settle into a normal life with his wife, Kate, but finds the transition challenging. Despite his efforts to find a stable job and embrace routine, the scars of combat and his innate sense of duty linger, making the adjustment harder than expected.
The couple's life takes a drastic turn when, during a trip, Kate is kidnapped by a gang of jewel thieves on the run after a daring heist. Led by the ruthless criminal Rome, the gang sees Kate as a valuable hostage and leverage. Unwilling to be a bystander in his wife's peril, Triton draws upon his military skills and sets out on a relentless pursuit to save her. Facing numerous obstacles and the gang's determination to escape with their prize, Triton's quest quickly turns into a deadly chase, pitting his combat prowess against the criminals' cunning in a high-stakes game of survival and justice.
