Steve Vail (Aaron Eckhart), a jaded former CIA field agent, is a jazz-loving bricklayer when the CIA recruits him to track down the killer of three international journalists who have been murdered within a month, including Greta Becker (Veronica Ferres), an outspoken critic of U.S. intelligence activities across the world, and the CIA is being framed as being responsible. Kate Bannon (Nina Dobrev), a junior CIA agent assigned to the case, and CIA Director O'Malley (Tim Blake Nelson) meet and inform him that Radek (Clifton Collins Jr.), a former operative and friend of Steve who was believed to be dead, was responsible for the murders, believing that he wants revenge against the agency for leaving him to die after a botched mission and the death of his family. Vail refuses due to Kate's inexperience. The next night, Vail is attacked by Radek's men, but he kills them. Steve changes his mind and heads for Greece with Kate where Steve meets his old friend, Patricio (Hanna Weg). Steve is posing as a rich shipping magnate with Kate his wife. He then ditches Kate at the hotel in Thessaloniki to meet with his former lover and undercover agent, Tye Delson (Ilfenesh Hadera). She tells him she is now CIA station chief and that former informant-turned-gangster Sten might have information about Radek. At a pool party, Steve confronts Sten (Ori Pfeffer) and fights with his security before Kate arrives to help him escape; having to follow him through a tracker she planted on him, Steve had already placed her tracker on Sten so he would lead them to Radek. Kate questioned Steve about Radek, and he revealed that he was working undercover for the Russian and Greek mafia and that the CIA would provide asylum for his family; however, his cover was blown, and the mafia killed his family. Radek went rogue and killed the mafia, forcing the agency to send Steve to kill Radek. They follow the tracker to Sten's residence, where Steve discovers hidden documents in a brick wall, and Kate finds Becker's phone. Sten's assistant enters the house and fights Steve. Kate freezes, failing to shoot the man before Steve kills him with his trowel. Patricio decrypts the phone, and they learn that Radek's next target is Alekos Melas (Oliver Trevena), a critic of U.S. intelligence. Steve suddenly receives a call from Radek and tells him that the agency blew his cover because he couldn't complete one of their assignments: to assassinate a Greek politician, so he's blackmailing them for revenge. Radek kills Alekos and escapes from the team, but threatens to hurt Kate if Steve interferes with Radek. Steve visits Tye, who reveals that she knew of Radek before Steve came to her. At the warehouse, he and Kate find Patricio dead after Radek tortured him. Sten and his henchmen arrive to kill Steve and Kate after being ordered by Radek. The engaged in a fire fight and Kate is taken prisoner but Steve eventually uses a bomb strapped to Patricio's dead body as a booby-trap, killing Sten and the rest of the henchmen. Steve and Kate return to the U.S. to meet O'Malley, who tells him that Radek threatened to leak the agency's covert activities worldwide unless they paid him $100 million. O'Malley removes Steve from the mission after the difficulties he has caused with local police and sends Kate to deliver the ransom, but Steve takes over Kate's place and delivers the money to Radek in a laptop in a tavern basement. When the transfer was complete, Radek makes a video call to Steve, knowing he would be the one to deliver the money. He blames Steve for failing to protect his family despite faking his death before and plans to assassinate the Greek prime minister, Kostas, putting the blame on the agency before rigging a bomb and locking the basement door. Steve escapes the blast, and he and Kate pursue Radek to Kostas' public speaking engagement. Steve uses a sledgehammer to knock Radek's sniper platform, causing Radek to miss. Steve apologizes to Radek, who provokes Steve into killing him just as Radek pulls out a photo of Steve with Radek and his dead wife and daughter. Steve was shot by the Greece police. After being hospitalized, O'Malley comes to cover for Steve, and Radek's kill manifestos are recovered before the authorities can see them, but the money is never recovered. Steve deduces that Tye was the real culprit who had been helping Radek leak the agency's activities and stole the ransom money. Tye's men arrive to kill Steve, but he manages to kill all of them with a bomb. Tye attempts to kill Steve by running him down in the street, but Kate arrives and shoots Tye, killing her and causing her to crash. Afterward, O'Malley offers Kate a promotion but she instead resigns from the agency with Patricio's dog in tow, and Steve returns to his bricklayer job.
