Plot.
Former U.S. federal agent Thomas McKenzie, now using the name Martin Parker, is living in London under witness protection with his eight-year-old daughter, Carly. Thomas had worked undercover inside the crime syndicate of American arms dealer Charles Cooper, where he fell in love and married Cooper’s daughter. Thomas’ wife has since died from a car bomb, and Cooper wants to kill him for revenge and get his grand daughter into his custody so he can groom her into his successor for his arms business. One night, three armed burglars with the wrong address break into their London home looking for cocaine. After a brutal fight, and
with a gun pointed at Thomas and a knife to Carly’s neck, Thomas takes the gun and kills the burglars. He calls U.S. Embassy colleague Gail Callister before passing out due to a head wound.
Thomas wakes handcuffed in his hospital bed, charged with murder and with his face all over the news. Carly has been taken to Kavendish Place, Child Social Services, where she is placed in the care of Stacy. Cooper, having finally found him, sends deadly British hitman George “Bishop” Edwards to kill Thomas and bring him Carly.
Thomas’ old friend, Ray Monroe, calls to explain that he is on a flight from the U.S. and will arrive in two hours to sort out the
witness protection status with the British authorities, as Callister and the U.S. Embassy has proven incapable of handling the situation.
Worried about Carly, Thomas engages in a brutal fight with three policemen and escapes from the hospital. He finds Bishop trying to hack a database at Kavendish Place, and believes he is a child care worker. Bishop attacks him, but Thomas manages to get the location of Carly then escapes in a taxi just before Bishop can stop him. Bishop, with sophisticated computer systems in his car, tracks down the taxi, calls the driver, tells him that his fare is incredibly dangerous and advises him to pull over at a petrol station. Bishop arrives seconds later, but Thomas has escaped.
