A former KGB assassin finds his attempt to start a new life in Vancouver complicated after his identity is exposed, and the Russian Mafia targets his family for death. To his family and friends, Edward Genn (Dolph Lundgren) was a shrewd investment broker and devoted father; to Russian gangsters he always remained "Icarus," the one assassin who never missed a mark. When Icarus' former enemies make the fatal mistake of kidnapping his family, his killer instincts take over once again.
