After years in hiding, Cataleya Restrepo (Zoe Saldana) is forced out of her quiet life when a powerful international crime syndicate tracks her down for revenge. The film opens with Cataleya living under a new identity in Spain, haunted by her violent past but determined to stay out of the underworld. Her peace is shattered when her closest friend is murdered in a hit orchestrated by the syndicate, sending her on a relentless quest for justice.
Cataleya’s investigation leads her to cross paths with Ethan Kane (Jason Statham), a former MI6 agent with his own vendetta against the same syndicate. Initially at odds, the two form an uneasy alliance, each driven by personal loss. Their partnership is fraught with tension—Ethan’s brutal, direct methods often clash with Cataleya’s calculated, stealthy approach. As they travel from Bogotá to Rio de Janeiro and across Eastern Europe, the duo uncovers a web of corruption that reaches into law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
The film’s emotional core is Cataleya’s struggle with her own morality. She discovers that the FBI agents hunting her are themselves complicit in the syndicate’s crimes, blurring the line between justice and vengeance. In a pivotal scene, Cataleya confronts the syndicate’s leader in Bogotá, leading to a brutal showdown that tests her resolve and forces her to choose between revenge and redemption.
The climax sees Cataleya and Ethan exposing the syndicate’s ties to global corruption, but at great personal cost. Ethan sacrifices himself to save Cataleya, allowing her to escape and start anew, but not before she delivers evidence to the authorities, ensuring the syndicate’s downfall. The film ends with Cataleya vanishing into the crowd, her future uncertain but her past finally laid to rest.
