John Rain discovers that Midori, his former lover, has been living in New York and raising their child. Rain sees an opportunity to reconnect with them and maybe find redemption from his deadly profession. But his enemies are already watching Midori and the child. When Rain appears, he puts his family in immediate danger. To protect them, Rain must use the lethal skills he wanted to abandon. He teams up with Tatsu from the Japanese FBI and Dox, a former Marine sniper who hides his deadly nature behind a friendly exterior. The three men work against time to draw out Rain's enemies and destroy them completely. Rain needs one more partner to complete his mission: Delilah, a Mossad operative. For Delilah, Rain's desire to reunite with Midori creates a personal threat of a different kind. Rain faces enemies on multiple fronts as he fights to save his family and secure a future with them.
