Following the brutal retribution she delivered for her father’s murder, Rooney (Ana de Armas) attempts to escape the violent world of assassins that shaped her existence. Haunted by her past and yearning for peace, she disappears into the shadows, hoping to carve out a new life free from bloodshed. But the past refuses to release her. When a highly classified hit list is leaked from within the ranks of the Ruska Roma — the secretive order that trained her — Rooney’s name emerges at the top. Branded a liability and marked for death by her own surrogate family, she becomes the prey in a global manhunt led by assassins who know her every move.

With killers from every corner of the underworld closing in, Rooney finds herself drawn back into the brutal code she tried to leave behind. In a desperate bid to survive and uncover the truth behind the betrayal, she forms uneasy alliances with powerful figures from the High Table’s fractured hierarchy — including the enigmatic Winston (Ian McShane), whose influence over the Continental Hotel remains formidable, and the legendary John Wick (Keanu Reeves), whose name alone still strikes fear into even the most hardened killers.

As the layers of conspiracy unravel, Rooney discovers a plot far more personal and far-reaching than she imagined — one designed not only to eliminate her, but to extinguish her entire bloodline. With time running out and enemies closing in, she must confront not only her past, but the inner turmoil that has long defined her identity. In the end, survival will demand more than skill and violence — it will require Rooney to fully embrace who she has become.
