But behind her exquisite exterior, Anna has a deadly secret — she is a KGB-trained assassin. Recruited after her abusive, thieving boyfriend is killed by agent Alexei Tchenkov (Luke Evans), she was given a choice: spend five years as a Soviet operative or join her late lover.Using her striking looks to gain access to her targets, Anna becomes a top asset for her handler, OLGA (Helen Mirren), but as the end of her five-year agreement comes closer, she learns the KGB has no intention of honouring it. When CIA agent Lenny Miller (Cillian Murphy) tries to force her to work as a double agent, Anna hatches a plan that could free her from both — or get her killed.
