Snow covers Manhattan's Upper West Side as a team of trained killers moves through the streets. Detective Michael Bennett watches their first assassination, knowing it serves as practice for something bigger. The real target becomes clear when the President arrives in New York for a United Nations summit with Russia's leader. Bennett gets pulled from his family and thrown into the center of a plot that could restart the Cold War. The assassins close in on their ultimate mark while Bennett races to identify who sent them.
