Anna is an assassin raised by Moody after he discovered her in the aftermath of a massacre in Da Nang, where she killed four men who had kidnapped her. For years, they traversed the globe and completed high-profile contracts settling in England where she runs a rare-book store and he lives in a manor house. She first encounters Rembrandt in her store when he comes in on the pretext of buying a gift. In the present day, Anna and Moody kill a Romanian mafia boss by taking his son hostage and using him as a bait. Anna and Moody celebrate his birthday, where he gives her insight into a person he is trying to find information on. In the following days, Moody and anyone Anna contacted to gain information on the person Moody was searching for is brutally killed. Anna seeks vengeance after finding her contacts murdered and her shop is attacked by assassins. She believes that an assassination target from Moody's past in Vietnam, Edward Hayes, has a connection to his death and the individual Moody was searching for. While there she learns the person Moody was searching for was Edward Hayes' son. He is mentally disabled, but well cared for in a facility that has a wealthy benefactor who provides the money necessary for his care. Anna also learns of Vohl, Edward Hayes' partner who took over the company after Hayes' death. She sets a meeting with Vohl, but Duquet, Vohl's lawyer, kills him to prevent Vohl from divulging any information to Anna. Anna attacks Duquet, and is captured after a chase. Duquet tortures her to see why she is after Edward's son. Rembrandt visits Anna in the cell and says that he, like Duquet, works for the same person, but says that his methods are apart from them and he was not involved with the shooting in the library. After Duquet leaves the gang goes to her cell and tries to hang her, but she defeats them and escapes. Rembrandt blames Duquet and his harsh methods for her escape. After a dinner date between Rembrandt and Anna, Rembrandt gets into a street fight with local thugs hired by Duquet but survives. Meanwhile, Anna kills Duquet. Rembrandt arrives and sees Duquet was hanged. Unaware of Anna, she ambushes him and fights with him, but in the end, they decide to have sex. While walking in the street, Anna is shot by one of Duquet's men but is rescued by Moody. Moody reveals to her that he faked his death by disguising his attempted killer as himself and shot his attacker in the face so that he could not be identified.
