Janna is relaxing in the airport lounge with her husband, Marcus, and their daughter, Kiana, when Janna gets a work call. Her deal is about to collapse, and her boss wants Janna to return to the office to rectify the situation. Janna pleads with Marcus to go to Italy ahead of her with Kiana. Marcus isn’t happy but understands. She promises to be there the next day and put work aside.
Janna returns to the office and works through the deal. She calls her sister, Skyler, and updates her. She asks Skyler to join her and her family in Italy, but Skyler says no. A problem tenant hasn’t paid their rent, so Skyler’s money is tight. Then, Skyler admonishes Janna for returning to work instead of getting on the flight. Janna assures Skyler she will be on the next flight and with her family soon.
Janna is relaxing at home when Skyler knocks on the door. Skyler firmly convinced her tenant to pay. And her friend, flight attendant Sarayah, has a buddy pass. So, Skyler will make the trip. She can spend time with her niece and irritate Marcus. She’s never trusted him because he is too perfect. Skyler scoffs at Janna for missing her sparing time at the gym. Janna kicks the trash bag out of Skyler’s hand to prove she still has skills. Skyler laughs and picks up the trash. Then, she finds a SIM card amongst the debris and puts it in her carry-on.
Janna and Skyler arrive at the airport, and Saraya greets them. Saraya has an apartment in Italy and promises to show Skyler the local clubs. Janna and Skyler arrive and check-in. However, the concierge informs Janna that Marcus and Kiana haven’t arrived. Skyler calms Janna by alluding to a miscommunication. Janna calls Marcus, but her calls go to voicemail. Janna can’t shake the ill feelings and go to the American Embassy. However, they do little to help. Janna is on a mission to find her missing husband and daughter. And she will travel to the Italian underbelly to uncover the truth about their disappearance. Janna won’t stop until they are together.
This film is an action-packed thriller with familial bonds, cons, and the mafia. Unlike other action films, this script calls out the protagonist’s mistakes and misgivings. Also, Janna isn’t a delicate flower that’s unaware of the world around her. Saraya and Skylar are one move away from jail, and Janna isn’t afraid to throw a punch. She is a desperate woman looking for her family. Thankfully, the writers didn’t add an unnecessary love story to the plot. Janna solely focuses on finding her family. The plot injects the proper amount of humor during tense moments. This film will make you laugh, flinch, and swoon. Poor graphics and squibs aside, this film is exciting.
