In the film penned by Matt Rogers and Jason James, a group of righteous assassins called The Collective take aim at a highly sophisticated human trafficking ring backed by a network of untouchable billionaires. With their backs against the wall, The Collective has no choice but to put their most important mission in the hands of rookie assassin, Sam Alexander (Lucas Till). What he lacks in experience he makes up for in savvy, grit, and a keen ability to improvise in the most dangerous situations. He is aided on his journey by Hugo (Tyrese Gibson) and Liam (Don Johnson), former CIA operatives turned rogue vigilantes. They face off against Daisy (Ruby Rose), the cunning general manager of this evil, clandestine organization. Sam must prove to himself Liam and Hugo that he’s Collective material on this life or death take no prisoners-mission.
