Trigger Point

In the bustling streets of New York, a shadowy figure employs a silencer to take down several victims in a chilling spree. Fast forward a year, and we find Nicolas Shaw—a retired United States special operative—living in isolation to escape his haunting past. Through harrowing flashbacks, Shaw recalls the torment inflicted upon him by an enigmatic captor, who coerced him into revealing the identities of his colleagues. Tragically, those very colleagues fell victim to the assassin, and now, Shaw has been framed for their gruesome assassinations.

When a former agency member confronts Shaw about his past, he seeks the help of his ex-boss, Elias Kane. Kane reveals the shocking news that his daughter, Monica, has been abducted by a nefarious figure known as Quinton. In a daring attempt to uncover the truth, Shaw embarks on a rescue mission, ultimately saving Monica amidst a barrage of gunfire from her captors. However, a shocking twist awaits him. As he is held at gunpoint, Monica confesses that they intended to capture Shaw to reclaim sensitive encrypted data.

After a tense confrontation, Shaw disarms Monica and leads her into the woods, where he discovers she has been wounded. In a heartfelt exchange, Shaw reveals that Quinton was the one who tortured him, using drugs to compel him to divulge his comrades’ names. Monica counters with a startling revelation: he had given the names before the torture took place, suggesting that the drugs merely erased his memory. In a desperate bid for freedom, she escapes and reunites with her father, who soon realizes that Shaw has wiped out the crucial encrypted information.

Back in his hideout, Shaw begins the painstaking process of decoding the remnants of that sensitive data. Meanwhile, Kane prowls the town, attempting to locate Shaw. His search leads him to a diner and a bookstore frequented by Shaw, where he encounters Janice, a waitress who had caught Shaw’s eye previously. In a ruthless act, Kane eliminates the bookstore owner who possesses knowledge about Shaw’s true identity.

As Shaw uncovers the truth about his tormentor, he unveils that it was indeed Kane who subjected him to the drugs that clouded his memories in a desperate attempt to retrieve information about Quinton. In a tense showdown, Kane kidnaps Janice, prompting Shaw to reveal to Monica her father’s darker intentions. Once he discovers Janice’s location within Kane’s vehicle, Shaw sets out on a mission to rescue her.

The story culminates in a dramatic confrontation at the pier, where tensions escalate, and Monica learns of Kane’s role in the death of her beloved Javier. In a moment fueled by rage, Shaw takes down Kane, but not before Monica is given the chance to fulfill her vengeance.

Days later, within the walls of a school, Shaw interacts with a teacher who shares an intimate connection to his past. As they delve into Kane’s sinister plans, a shadow of a broader conspiracy looms over them. With the weight of their conversation heavy in the air, Shaw retrieves his firearm. Outside, he communicates with the bookstore owner, revealing his intention to leave town for a short while, under the guise of “a few business days.”
