PlotJack Quinn, a top counter-terrorism operative, is on the verge of retirement as he prepares for the birth of his child. However, his plans are interrupted when he is urgently called back into action to capture the elusive terrorist Stavros. During a mission in Antwerp, Quinn fails to apprehend Stavros, leading to a catastrophic loss and both men being injured. In the aftermath, Quinn is deemed too valuable to be left in the field and is sent to “The Colony,” a high-tech, offshore prison for secret agents who know too much.
As Quinn struggles with his confinement and searches for a way to escape, he learns that Stavros is not finished with him. Stavros has kidnapped Quinn's pregnant wife, intending to eliminate any ties and achieve his own nefarious goals. Desperate to save his family, Quinn allies with Yaz, an eccentric arms dealer with a penchant for extreme measures. The duo improvise a daring escape from The Colony and plunge into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse across Europe, racing against time to rescue Quinn's loved ones and put an end to Stavros’s plans before it’s too late.
