Ashley was so scared of what was happening that she wanted to take her husband’s friend to the hospital but he had already lost his life. However, the couple went to the port because Jimmy’s friend left a boat there. Jimmy took the hard drive for is purpose and then informed the person who ordered him that they got it and burned the evidence.

Meanwhile, The mafia boss Donnie is very angry after they escaped with the number of his men and even stole his most carefully guarded hard drive. He ordered the staff to immediately find Jimmy. Presently Jimmy brought his wife and gave her the hard drive and she looked for a place to hide because he still had something to finish.

He thought about her Father’s place but Ashley didn’t want to agree because she was angry with her father but they had nowhere else to go so she was forced. Ashley immediately went home to wake up her daughter Sarah so she wouldn’t be surprised she just said that they had a surprise for her on the beautiful island.

Jimmy went back to meet the person he was talking to but he was caught by Donnie’s men. The next day Ashley took her daughter to the island by herself but she also couldn’t count on Donnie’s men to follow her. The flight attendant found out that Sarah was alone and there was no one to pick he up at the airport. When she arrived at Cayman Island the attendant helped her go to the address that Sarah intended to go to.

Arriving at the address given by the mother. Sarah did not see anyone. She only saw a man sleeping behind the house who was surprised when she arrived there. The man is Matt Robins Ashley’s father who left her when she was young so they have no contact with each other. Matt was surprised that he probably has a grandchild.

At that time Donnie was holding Ashley but they couldn’t find the hard drive. His staff brought out Jimmy who was struggling to tell him the location of the hard drive so Ashley admitted that his daughter brought it to Cayman Island but she didn’t know anything.

Donnie sends his men along with Ashley to retrieve the hard drive while Jimmy can leave it with him in return if she does something wrong. Meanwhile Matt wonders what the granddaughter is doing there alone Sarah says she thinks her parent have a problem so he found out what happened.

Sarah told what she knew that she caught them arguing and woke her up early to go straight to the airport but there was only one ticket left so the mother let her go first and she said she would follow. While an influential person holding Donnie he called her to let her know what happened but she already knew the hard drive was missing and only gave him 24 hours to find it.

The next day, Ashley arrived on the island with Donnie’s men but when they reached the father’s house they found no one inside. Matt took Sarah to eat. Sarah asked how he ended up on the island and Matt said that after he retired from work he would rather live on a tropical island. Sarah thought her grandfather was dead because her mother said so. Matt can’t blame her daughter because he left him when she was young but Sarah doesn’t hold a grudge against him.

Donnie’s men was still at Matt’s house waiting for its arrival. Ashley is threatens to break her if she just fools them but before he can Matt arrives. When he saw his daughter companions he first hid Sarah in the car after he faced them pretending that his back is hurt.

Donnie’s men are looking for the hard drive on him. Matt denies it but Ashley is threatened to be killed so he takes a dumbell and end the General’s life then fight another. Ashley got a gun from the man she intended to help but she hit her own father causing Donnie’s men to escape with Matt’s car. They are causing trouble now because Sarah is inside the car.

When he got away, He called Donnie to let him know that Ashley’s father had killed the General. Who happened to be Donnie’s half brother. He was very angry but he said that he was now holding Ashley’s daughter. Donnie sends them away first and he will send another person because of what happened Matt plans to report to the police.

Ashley didn’t agree because they were holding Sarah and it might just put her in danger. He took the hard drive they were looking for but neither Ashley nor Jimmy knew what it contained. She was told that this would be the husband’s way to be freed from Donnie’s hand because once she entered the group he would not be able to escape alive.

Matt calls his old Boss when he was still working for the government’s hitman Drisdale to ask for help to get information about Donnie who they are currently tracking. They are also in the same hotel where Donnie’s men is hiding with Sarah.

He treated the Sarah well because she wasn’t really that bad. The rest of Donnie’s men also came to the island to help recover the hard drive. As time passed Ashley became more and more worried about her daughter condition so she went out of the room to get ice but she met Donnie’s staff. So she immediately returned and informed the father.

Matt made a plan and opened the door quickly because he couldn’t handle it all at once. Ashley quickly opened the door then Matt pulled one of them and ended up inside the room which surprised the criminals what happened.

After they went through the back to escape. Matt let her daughter down first but they opened the door and opened it to stop him. He fought the men while holding onto the rope until he was able to kill them and cross safely below.

Ashley was surprised by the father’s skills and suspected that the father was a former Assasin but Matt denied it. Meanwhile, Donnie’s staff saw that everyone his boss sent was killed. He also saw Ashley with her father taking a taxi. So he immediately found out where they were going through the taxi company. He also informed Donnie that all the men he head sent are killed. Which angered him even more. He just found out the name of Ashley’s father and he intends to go to the island himself.

Matt took the daughter to his former colleague to find out the contents of the hard drive because he was good at such tasks. They were surprised to see the contents of the files that his friend refused to be involved. He also calls Drisdale to let her know that Donnie has sent someone to kill them again. Drisdale tells the information about Donnie that the group has committed all kinds of crimes.

His boss is identified as Hector Garcia who runs the organization and has powerful friends. Ashley asked the father’s friend because she still couldn’t believe what the father was doing. Joseph told her about her father’s character and their previous jobs but they only do what is good.

In Miami, Hector calls his friend from a government agency to inform him that the hard drive containing the organization’s transactions has been stolen. Donnie’s group has also arrived in Cayman Island to hunt Ashley and her father. Meanwhile Drisdale’s colleague is having a relationship with Hector. Worrying about all Donnie’s sent men was just killed by an old man.

Fitzsimmons tells her it’s not just an old man because they used to be a hit man at the agency. Donnie’s group has also arrived at the Marina where his men is with Ashley’s daughter. They followed the nearby boat where Ashley and her father were. Fitzsimmons warned Hector not to just send men to face Matt because they have no match.

She used her granddaughter to recover the hard drive but it was too late. Donnie and his men planned to surround the boat so they couldn’t escape but when they were on their way Matt saw his men hanging around so he asked Joseph for a gun but he didn’t have anything else.

She made Ashley hide under the boat. Donnie was trying to disturb Matt so that his men could get to the back of the boat but Matt saw it and stopped them from what they were planning but the explosive he was carrying fell into the sea causing a hole in the boat were Ashley was.

Sarah ran away from the man who abducted her while Matt and Donnie’s men caught her. Sarah arrives there so everyone’s attention turns to her and she throws the gun she got that Matt dropped into the sea. Joseph faced Donnie’s men alone until he was hit by a gun. The water quickly entered the bottom of the boat so Ashley was also in danger.

Her daughter heard her scream below. Sarah tried to open the door but she could open it. Meanwhile Matt knocked down Donnie’s men one by one but he was able to escape to the boat that was chasing Sarah but before he arrived she opened the door and Ashley also killed the man with the fish hook.

But when they were getting out of the boat with the father’s friend. Donnie came out and shot Joseph and then took Ashley and Sarah to escape. Matt arrived late because they had already left. He just helped his injured friend and informed Drisdale about waht happened when his daughter was kidnapped. It’s not a concern because it can’t leave the island.

Hector is currently talking to Fitzsimmons and is threatening that he will be included in their downfall if he does not help get the mother and daughter off the island. It turns out that Drisdale suspects that the colleague at the agency is a traitor while he is talking to the superior. Meanwhile, Matt immediately took his friend to the hospital and Drisdale also informed him that someone had taken his daughter out of the island and that he would also help him get on a plane to follow the daughter.

In Hector’s mansion, He prepared a lot of personnel to watch the whole place carefully because he now has the mother and captive to get the hard drive. Matt has also arrived in Miami and immediately went to the car that Drisdale prepared for him with equipment that he can use in the fight.

Later in the mansion, The light suddenly went out. They suspected that Ashley’s father had arrived so Hector prepared his men.

Hector tries to call Fitzsimmons but he doesn’t answer which makes him even more angry. Matt knocked down the guards one by one but when he saw his daughter and granddaughter he was hit by a gun fortunately he was wearing a bullet proof vest so he was not hurt but Donnie caught Ashley and Sarah and took them to protect Matt but they heard that their men were running out.

Matt caught up with Hector with Ashley but Donnie was also behind him and caught him taking the hard drive from him but when Hector took it Donnie killed him surprising them. Fitzsimmons also arrived there and killed Donnie while Drisdale took the real hard drive that Matt hid then killed Fitzsimmons. When his boss Christoper arrived. Drisdale gave him the hard drive where he planned everything. He also talked Matt about what was going on.

Christoper explained to him that they had been monitoring the organization for a long time and that their informer was Jimmy who was giving information to Fitzsimmons who was also currently reporting to Hector so they could not catch the group. When they take the opportunity to catch the whole organization.

Matt realizes that the agency used him but Christoper nevertheless promises that he will take care of his family and gives him the boat that Hector left to return to the island.
