However, things take a dangerous turn when Ben finds out that his former employer is trying to kill him and his daughter to cover up their illegal operations.

The movie starts with Ben Logan starting a new job as a security consultant for a multinational company that specializes in security technologies. He moves to Belgium with his daughter to start a new life away from his previous job with the CIA. Ben's job gives him access to classified information and makes him a valuable target for his former employer.

His life takes a sinister turn when he and his daughter are attacked in their new apartment by unknown assailants. Ben, who has been trained as a CIA agent, uses his skills to neutralize the attackers and keep his daughter safe. However, he becomes suspicious of his new employers, who seem to have ties with his former employer.

As the story progresses, Ben discovers that a former CIA colleague, Anna Brandt (Olga Kurylenko), is also involved in the plot to kill him and his daughter. Anna tries to cover up her involvement by claiming that Ben was involved in a hacking scandal while working for the CIA. Ben, who realizes that he has been framed, decides to take matters into his own hands and find out who is behind the plot.

One of the most thrilling aspects of the movie is the relationship between Ben and his daughter Amy. As a single father, Ben struggles to balance his career and his relationship with his daughter. After the attack, Ben and Amy are forced to go on the run together to avoid being killed.

Ben is portrayed as a man with a troubled past, who is haunted by the death of his wife. The movie explores Ben's journey towards redemption as he tries to protect his daughter and uncover the truth.
