Levon Cade, a widowed ex-Royal Marine, works as a construction foreman for Joe Garcia (Michael Peña) in Chicago. He strives to maintain a quiet life and secure custody of his daughter, Merry (Isla Gie), from his estranged father-in-law. His tranquillity is shattered when Jenny Garcia, Joe’s 19-year-old daughter, is abducted by a Russian human trafficking ring known as the Bratva, led by Symon Kharchenko.
Determined to rescue Jenny, Levon reactivates his military skills. He infiltrates the Bratva by posing as a drug dealer, aiming to get close to Dimi Kolisnyk, who oversees the trafficking operations. During his mission, Levon kills Wolo Kolisnyk, a high-ranking member, prompting Symon to send his sons, Danya and Vanko, after him.
