The film kicks off with Kyrah, codenamed Ombra, takes down a guy directing an ambush crew. Turns out, there's a massive bounty out for someone named Sombra. Is it a friend? A foe?

Next, Isaac, a father trying to keep his son, Ky, safe. He's alone, reminiscing about his past, telling his son the story of how he lost his hearing during a dangerous mission. As he tells Ky that "Mama" is out dealing with bad guys, you realize that Isaac's life is anything but normal. Kyrah went AWOL after the birth of Ky and vowed to watch over Isaac and Ky. 

The next day, Isaac finds himself caught in the middle of a heist at a local bank. A group of armed robbers storms in, but Isaac, after telling Ky to close his eyes and cover his ears, proceeds to take down the whole crew in a chilling display of skill. His hearing aids come off, his senses sharpen, and the robbers don’t stand a chance. But it’s not just his actions that make the news; it's the fact that Isaac's identity is soon revealed.

Their former employer, Jack Cinder sees Isaac’s heroics on TV and knows one thing for sure: Isaac and Kyrah, who are now in hiding, must be hunted down. A massive bounty is placed on their heads, and soon, everyone wants a piece of the action.

Now knowing that their lives are at stake, Isaac and Ky goes to their safe house, deep in the jungle. That night, Kyrah visits them and Ky meets Kyrah for the first time. 

The next day, the family attempts to make a run for it, but the Shadow Force is closing in. Their car is ambushed, gunned down, and sinks into a lake. They barely escape, but with no idea who betrayed them.

Isaac and Kyrah try to figure out who in their tight-knit circle of allies could have compromised their location. Kyrah makes the ultimate decision to go head-to-head with Jack.

Can they live as a normal family?
