Plot

Ovi Mahajan Jr., son of incarcerated Indian drug lord Ovi Mahajan Sr., sneaks out of his house to attend a party with his friend. At the party, corrupt police officers working for rival Bangladeshi drug lord Amir Asif shoot and kill Ovi Jr.'s friend and kidnap him.

Saju Rav — a former lieutenant colonel in the Indian Army Para Special Forces and Ovi Jr.'s guardian — visits Ovi Sr. in prison. Unwilling to pay the ransom or surrender his territories to Amir as it will hurt his prestige, Ovi Sr. orders Saju to retrieve his son, threatening to kill Saju's son if he is unwilling to do so.

Tyler Rake, a former Australian Army SASR operator turned mercenary, is recruited by his handler and fellow mercenary, Nik Khan, to save Ovi Jr. from Dhaka, Bangladesh, with Ovi Sr.'s men set to pay them once Ovi Jr. is recovered.

Tyler saves Ovi, kills his captors, and takes him to the extraction point. Asif orders the head of local police, Colonel Rashid, to initiate a lockdown of Dhaka, securing all bridges and travel points out of the city. Ovi Sr.'s men do not transfer the payment, as it is revealed that the authorities have frozen Ovi Sr.'s bank account; he had no means to pay the mercenaries in the first place, having tricked them into saving his son.

Saju kills Tyler's teammates and tries to kill Tyler, so he can take Ovi, and cheat the mercenaries out of their payment. Nik arranges for a helicopter to extract Tyler outside the city and tells him to abandon Ovi since the contract has been nullified. Tyler refuses, haunted by memories of his own deceased son, whom he abandoned after he could not stand seeing him suffer from lymphoma.

After escaping Saju, the corrupt Dhaka Metropolitan Police tactical units on Asif's payroll, and a gang of boys led by Farhad, a young criminal eager to impress Asif, Tyler calls his friend Gaspar, a retired American squad-mate living in Dhaka, for help. He and Ovi lay low at Gaspar's home for the evening.

Gaspar reveals Asif has placed a $10,000,000 bounty on Ovi Jr., which he offers to share if Tyler allows him to kill the boy. Tyler refuses and fights Gaspar, who gains the upper hand, but is shot and killed by Ovi. Tyler calls Saju, and they team up to save the boy and escape Dhaka.

Tyler draws attention away from Saju and Ovi as the two make their way past a bridge checkpoint. Nik and her mercenaries arrive at the bridge as Asif watches from afar. In the ensuing firefight, Saju is killed by Rashid, who is in turn killed by Nik. A heavily wounded Tyler is shot in the neck by Farhad before he can make it to Nik's helicopter. Seeing Ovi safe with Nik, Tyler falls into the river. Ovi, Nik, and the extraction team escape to Mumbai.

Eight months later, Nik ambushes Asif in a restroom and shoots him to death. Meanwhile, Ovi dives into his school's swimming pool to practice holding his breath, mirroring the scene where Tyler is introduced in the film. He surfaces to see a blurred vision of a man resembling Tyler watching him.
