"3 AM April 17th"[]
The Mirinos seem to be the perfect picturesque image of a white Middle-American suburban family. This all changes on the night that a home invader breaks into their house. Faust Mirino snaps into action to defend his family, at the cost of his own life. His wife Cat, skilled in firearms and martial arts succeeds in taking the assailant down. After Faust's funeral however a rift begins to develop between Cat and her 16-year-old daughter Missy.
Cat gets abducted by agents of Warfare and Strategic Planning, who bring her back to a facility where their administrator, Manjeet, explains to her that Faust was a special assassin for the organization known as a Collector. He further reveals that their group is tasked with tracking down and eliminating rogue recipients of a government-created drug compound known as IM44, which causes increased strength, aggression, and ultimately psychosis.
During the discussion, the Warfare and Strategic Planning agents discover that Cat is one of the IM44 subjects. Manjeet orders her assassination, and Cat has to fight her way out of the facility.
