An ex-special services veteran (Antonio Banderas), down on his luck and desperate for work, takes a job as a security guard at a run-down mall in a rough area of town.
On his first night on the job, he opens the doors up to a distraught and desperate young girl who has escaped and fled from a hіjacking of the Police motorcade that was transporting her to testify as a trial witness in a briefcase.
Hot on her heels is psychopathic hіjacker (Ben Kingsley), alongside his resourceful henchmen, who will stop at nothing to extract and eliminate their witness.
