Peter Barrett is a former CIA agent who now lives quietly as a painter. His old life returns when Sophia, a teenage girl, asks him to find her missing mother. Peter must protect Sophia while escaping trained killers and a secret CIA program. The film is a violent action thriller with family secrets, betrayals, and unusual hearing powers. The film does not make modern identity politics a major part of its story. Its main conflict concerns secret agents, murder, stolen information, and a father trying to protect his daughter. Sophia is important to the ending, but the story does not frame her as part of a wider representation or activist message. The film uses a female CIA official and several women in the plot, but their roles serve the spy story rather than a stated social theme.
