Plot summary
CIA operatives Matt and Emily are sent by their superior Chuck to take a device capable of seizing control of any electronic system from Balthazar Gor during his children's birthday party. They get the device, escape an ambush on the flight home and, guessing that someone informed on them, drop off the grid. Fifteen years later the two are married in Atlanta, raising Leo and Alice, who know nothing about their parents' past. When Alice's nightclub friends turn aggressive, a brawl breaks out and the footage spreads. Volka, a mercenary group, tracks the family down, and they fly to England, to Emily's mother Ginny Curtis, a former MI6 sniper whose manor holds the key to the device. MI6, led by Emily's ex-boyfriend Baron, is after them too.
