Michael Bryce is on the verge of retiring from his career as a bodyguard, seeking some tranquility during a vacation. However, his peaceful getaway is interrupted when Sonia Kincaid tracks him down, requesting his assistance. She is in dire need of help to rescue her husband, Darius Kincaid, a hitman who has been abducted by mobsters.
After a dramatic rescue, they find themselves at odds with Interpol agent Bobby O’Neill, who enlists their aid to capture a notorious terrorist mastermind, Aristotelis Papadopoulos. This villain has sinister plans to dismantle the European power grid as a form of revenge against the European Union for imposing sanctions on Greece.
As they navigate through a series of dangerous encounters, Bryce finds himself in precarious positions, often taking the hit for his companions. With assistance from his bodyguard stepfather, Bryce Senior, their situation quickly escalates when they are captured by Papadopoulos’s henchmen. A twist unfolds as they discover that Senior has a hidden agenda, having been betrayed by his own stepfather, who has a tumultuous history with Sonia from a past romantic entanglement.
Realizing the alliance of double-crossers, Bryce and Darius regroup with determination to rescue Sonia and thwart Papadopoulos’s malicious plans. In a climactic showdown, they confront the henchmen and work together to foil the villain’s plot to infiltrate the European power grid using a powerful drill. In a moment of intense confrontation, Bryce takes decisive action, eliminating Senior after a poignant exchange about loyalty and friendship with Darius, who faces down Papadopoulos, ultimately leading to his demise.
After a chaotic battle, Bryce successfully hits the manual override to disable the drill and prevent impending disaster, allowing them to survive the ensuing explosion. However, their troubles are far from over; O’Neill informs them they must remain on the boat for an additional 48 hours before being exonerated. He hands Bryce what he believes to be AAA license papers, only for him to discover they are adoption papers, effectively making him the son of Sonia and Darius.
In a humorous twist during the mid-credit scene, Bryce, overwhelmed by his situation, jumps off the yacht he was steering while Sonia and Darius are occupied inside.
