Synopsis
Jake Carter (Mike Mizanin), a former U.S Marine, is now working at Hawthorne Global Security. He and a few other men are waiting at the airport for the arrival of whistleblower Olivia 'Liv' Tanis (Melissa Roxburgh). They've been hired by the Department of Justice to protect Liv until she takes official custody.
While they are en route for Liv's custody, their convoy are being ambushed by a group of mercenaries, led by Simon Vogel. The mercenaries are managaed to kill all the men. Jake and Liz manage to escape and outrun from the mercenaries by stealing the mercenaries' car and head to the safe house.
Once in the safe house, Liv grabs Jake's gun and aims it at him. Liv says that he needs Jake's keys to go to the police station and he is untrusted because she doesn't know him but Jake asserts that if she will go alone, she will be ambushed. Jake convinces her that he is a former marine. Later, Nathan and Ethan - Department of Justice security - arrive at the safe house. Ethan suddenly shoots Nathan in the head after he tells the information of Simon Vogel and the incident. Ethan turns out to be working with Vogel. Then he tells Jake to move around the house while the gun is aiming towards Jake. As Liv escapes the house with the alarm going off, Jake and Ethan fight. Whilst fighting, the group of mercenaries arrive at the house. Liv and Jake manage to outrun from them by using a boat.
After departing from the boat, they walk through the stream. Jake states that they will not stop until they manage to kill Liv. Liv suddenly pounds a stone into Jake's head. Liv runs into the highway then hitchhikes a trailer truck to go to the police station. Jake, recovering from his head trauma, follows the trail left by Liv. Jake sees a passing police car, which can help him locate the police station, where Liv is heading. He then steals a nearby car and follows the police car.
At the police station, Liv complains that the men are trying to kill her. Shortly, Jake arrives at the police station and tells them where she is. The police detective, Redman, turns out to be talking with Ethan Smith claiming that Jake Carter was involved in the attack and that Jake is also considered extremely dangerous. The officers arrest both Jake and Liv. Ethan and his other mercenaries arrive at the police station. Ethan goes inside the police station first, followed by the mercenaries. They then proceed to shoot every surrounding official and employee. Jake and Liv obtain keys to the handcuffs from a dead officer and manage to kill some mercenaries. The four remaining officers are killed while trying to escape. The two manage to run from them but the convoy of mercenaries follows them. After the ensuing shootouts during the car chase, Jake shoots the driver ahead, blocking the way of Simon's men in the tunnel.
Jake and Liv spend all night staying in the woods. On the next morning, Jake calls Vogel upon their arriving at the woods. Then the ensuing shootouts kill most of the mercenaries, with the traps made by Jake. After that, Ethan holds Liv captive. Liv then hits his hand, allowing Jake and Ethan to fight. As Ethan strangles Jake, Liv shoots Ethan in the head. Suddenly, Vogel shoots Jake in the shoulder, temporarily stunning him for a while. As Vogel told her to do so, Liv finishes uploading the information of the corrupt military team to the Genesis Defense Corporation. Vogel then hits her with his gun. Jake tackles Vogel and they have a fight. Finally, Jake kills him by snapping his neck.
A few days later, Liv states that six members of the Genesis Defense Corporation are being indicted by treason and conspiracy. Liv has a tuxedo for Jake, bids farewell and boards the plane. Jake watches as the plane flies away.
