Wikipedia Plot
In 1992 in Bogota, Colombia, Fabio Restrepo (Jesse Borrego) obtains incriminating information about the operation of drug lord Don Luis Sandoval (Beto Benites) that he can use to free himself from the drug trafficking business. Don Luis suspects him and sends his associate Marco (Jordi MollĂ ) to kill Fabio and his family. As Fabio prepares to flee, he tells his daughter Cataleya (Amandla Stenberg) to find Emilio (Cliff Curtis), Cataleya's criminal uncle in Chicago, if anything should happen to him. Soon after, Marco and his men kill Fabio and his wife. As Marco asks Cataleya for the location of the incriminating information, Cataleya stabs Marco and escapes her home, heavily pursued by Don Luis' men. She is chased to the U.S. Embassy, where she is placed on a flight to Miami. Once she arrives in Chicago, she finds her uncle Emilio, who has learned what happened to Fabio and promises to train her.
Fifteen years later, Cataleya (Zoe Saldana) works for Emilio as an assassin-for-hire. Her "mark" or signature is the Cattleya flower, after which she was named. Posing as a drunk student named Valarie Phillips in Fresno, California, she gets herself arrested for drunk-driving and is thrown into a holding cell near Genarro Rizzo (Affif Ben Badra), an heavily wanted gangster, whom she surreptitiously kills. The police, unable to determine how the crime lord was killed or by whom, release the "student" the next day.
Cataleya is having a romantic relationship with an aspiring artist named Danny Delaney (Michael Vartan) under the name of Jennifer. She is careful not to reveal too much of herself, much to his frustration. FBI Special Agent James Ross (Lennie James) examines Rizzo's body in the morgue and sees the Cattleya mark. Ross reveals that he has been tracking Cataleya for over four years, but he believes the assassin is a man and that "he" has killed at least 22 people ranging from grifter Alexa Milshinova, D'Angelo James (who tried to take over the heroine in Houston from the Gemini Cartel), and the twins that led the Gemini Cartel (who's crimes are self-explanatory). After the shark-related death of millionaire William "Willy" Woogard (Sam Douglas) on an undisclosed island in the Caribbean Sea, the FBI releases the information regarding Cataleya's calling card. Don Luis realizes the true identity of the killer. After a visit from Steve Richard (Callum Blue) who is handling Don Luis under a CIA protection program, Don Luis attempts to track down Cataleya. Danny secretly takes a photo of Cataleya while she sleeps, which finds its way into the police's facial recognition system, allowing Ross to track her down. When meeting with Emilio at the library after a night with Danny, Emilio is angry that Cataleya's recklessness has endangered herself, him and his entire family. After revealing that eight men, including one of his friends, was massacred in a Miami bar in Florida by Don Luis' men, Emilio cuts off all ties with her with Emilio stating that she has been "retired" from his services. She later went to the church and gave her goodbyes to Mama and Emilio. Meanwhile, Danny's friend Ryan (
