Denzel Washington plays one of the most dangerous enemies of the CIA, former operations officer Tobin Frost, who unexpectedly appears in one of the cities of South Africa and puts the intelligence of the entire Western world on its feet. When he miraculously survives an attack that kills his partner, he reports to the American diplomatic mission in Cape Town. Taken over by agents, he is sent to a hideout run by a novice, Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds – “The Proposal”, “Deadpool”), who dreams of working as an operational agent.
When this secret location is attacked by brutal mercenaries, Matt is forced to help Frost escape and quickly realizes that his morality and idealism have been tested. Now both of them must try to survive to find out who masterminded this plot. Who are the real traitors in the CIA?
