    • Synopsis
    • Prompted by the death of his ex-wife, Ben Logan (Aaron Eckhart) has left his career as a top CIA agent to start a new life as a civilian with his estranged teenaged daughter, Amy. In an attempt to start fresh and rebuild their relationship, Ben moves Amy to Antwerp, where he has taken a job with the security systems division of a billion-dollar multi-national corporation. Or so he thinks.
      Ben tells his supervisor about an irregularity on one of the devices he has been testing, and the next day when he arrives at the office it is completely empty – stripped of all traces of people and business. Ben soon learns that the parent corporation never had a security solutions arm, or an office in Antwerp, and finally, that almost all of his coworkers are in the morgue.
      Ben knows he is a marked man running on borrowed time, and to make matters worse, he has Amy to worry about. He must keep her safe, but until he knows how high up this conspiracy goes, the only place he knows he can protect her is by his side. Together, they must learn to trust one another and work as a team to unearth the conspiracy and figure out what needs to be done to ensure their survival.
