When Pat Tate heads to Ibiza to avenge the murder of a trusted friend, his mission quickly spirals into a much larger and more dangerous conflict. Tate becomes entangled in a weapons trafficking operation led by ruthless mercenaries, played by Tamer Hassan and Leo Gregory, while the CIA closely monitors the entire operation. With rage fuelling every move, Tate becomes a one-man killing machine with revenge as his only objective, disrupting the high-stakes operations of arms dealers, mercenaries and American agents alike, placing a target firmly on his back. Hunted from all sides, Tate must fight his way through a deadly web of international criminals and covert operatives in a brutal battle for survival. As the body count rises, there can only be one question: who will be the last man standing?
