Bryan Mills is a former CIA agent, a man who has dedicated his life to working in high-risk situations and is now trying to lead a quiet and happy existence with his beloved daughter, Kim. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when Kim, an adventurous teenager, decides to go to Paris with a friend. Despite his reservations and desire to protect her, he gives his consent. But what should be a summer getaway turns into a nightmare when Kim is kidnapped by a dangerous human trafficking ring.
Desperate and with a ticking clock, Bryan taps into his dark past and uses his special skills to try to locate his daughter. With determination and a chilling calmness, he embarks on an unrelenting journey that takes him from the dark streets of Paris to the heart of a criminal conspiracy. Every lead he follows reveals a world of betrayal and danger, where he faces enemies who will stop at nothing to protect their illicit business.
As he progresses, Bryan becomes an unstoppable force — a father determined to bring his daughter back at any cost — using his cunning and training to dismantle the network that took her. Confronting pursuit, violence, and his own demons, time is against him, and he will do whatever it takes to bring his daughter home.
