When her former handlers offer her one final job to stop a biological terrorist threat, she accepts, only to find herself trapped in an setup involving a high-stakes conspiracy. She soon teams up with a primary target and his twin brother, utilizing her talent for making lethal compounds and setting complex traps to survive an organized assassination attempt.
