Plot:
Widowed former CIA agent Jack Foster (Shadowman) is an enigmatic Fortune 500 business owner and father of an 8-year-old daughter named Amanda. It’s the anniversary of Jack’s wife’s death and Jack is taking Amanda to Romania, where Amanda’s mother was born, having died 5 years ago. But upon arrival at the airport in Bucharest, Romania, a car bomb blows up the limousine of his father-in-law, CIA agent George, and Amanda is kidnapped. In this chaos, Jack is reunited with Harry, a former CIA buddy who mysteriously reappeared after not seeing Jack for about 7 or 8 years. They go looking for Amanda but lose her and Jack becomes suspicious of Harry.
At the safe house, Harry leaves Jack locked in a secure room and sends four men after Jack. Jack kills them and then runs away. Outside, Jack forces Harry to get inside the SUV. Harry explains that it has to do with a biological weapon called MKUltra. This is a virus that causes diseases such as the flu in various forms in an infected person. Those infected die within 6 months to a year, and the virus cannot be traced. George had a formula – he got it from the Black Ops section. He planned to sell it to the highest bidder, the FSB, a new branch of the KGB. And now the FSB thinks that George gave the formula to Jack. Harry tells Jack that the FSB is not going to let Amanda go until they get the formula.
