As a young girl in Bogotá, Cataleya Restrepo witnesses the brutal murder of her parents at the hands of drug lord Don Luis. Before her father dies, he gives her a microchip containing crucial information and urges her to find her uncle in the U.S. Fleeing the country, she successfully reaches Chicago, where her uncle, Emilio, takes her in. Despite his efforts to steer her toward a normal life, Cataleya is determined to seek revenge and begins rigorous training to become a deadly assassin.

Years later, Cataleya (played by Zoe Saldaña) becomes a highly skilled contract killer working for Emilio. Using her assignments to send a message to Don Luis, she leaves an orchid—a Cataleya flower—on every victim, hoping to lure him out. Meanwhile, FBI agent Ross takes notice of the mysterious assassin, piecing together her signature calling card. As law enforcement closes in, Cataleya's personal vendetta becomes more dangerous, putting Emilio and those around her in jeopardy.
