Plot Summary
During a mission, agent Avery Graves steals a thumbdrive and kills Japanese arms supplier Kenji in Tokyo, who is using a business façade to ship arms to terrorists. Avery had been assigned to investigate Kali, a mysterious assassin who kills arms dealers and drug runners. She comes home to find her husband David missing. Croatian cyberterrorist Breznov then calls Avery to blackmail her into getting him “Canary Black” – a file hidden in the fake tooth of Laszlo Stoica, a man currently detained at the CIA Black Site for espionage – in exchange for David’s life. At the Black Site, Avery pulls out Stoica’s tooth, but there is no file in it.
She escapes, and is now on the wanted list. She meets with her boss Jarvis Hedlund in his car to talk about Canary Black. He eventually traps Avery, and the CIA captures her. But their convoy is ambushed by masked men who attach explosive devices to two of the vehicles. Avery escapes, after the car she is being transported in crashes and overturns. A masked man follows her into an alley, where she stabs him. She removes his mask and discovers that he is her neighbor Niklaus, whose real name is Rurik van Klaus, an Austrian private contractor.
He dies before saying anything about David’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, Deputy Director Nathan Evans meets Breznov in his official pretended capacity as head of security services. Avery ties up Evans in his hotel room and tortures him to obtain the password of his agency mainframe account. After she finds it blocked, she enlists her hacker friend Sorina to gain access to a CIA server inside a defence contractor company building. Aided by Sorina’s human-transport-capable quadricopter drone, Avery gets on the building’s rooftop. There, Avery copies the Canary Black file.
