The story kicks into high gear when a young woman named Katia van Dees (Hannah Ware) discovers that her father, a scientist who abandoned her years ago, holds the key to creating an army of super-soldiers. Katia possesses the same rare genetic markers as 47. When a massive terrorist organization—led by the formidable John Smith (Zachary Quinto)—hunts her down, Agent 47 is dispatched with a confusing order: "Protect her."
