Avery Graves is a CIA agent who steals a drive from a building in Tokyo. Then she comes home to the 3rd anniversary with her husband David. Later she meets Jarvis, her boss at the CIA. They speak of Kenji, who was using a business facade to ship arms to terrorists.
She comes home to find it trashed and her husband missing. A phone on the table says gets the Canary Black file by midnight and mentions a detainee number, or husband dies. She asks for proof of life and is able to speak with her husband.
A hacker friend helps Avery locate the last call to the phone, and gives her the address. Then she goes to work and searches for the detainee number - Laszlo Stoica. She goes to the address, and finds her husband's wedding ring and a phone on a table. She receives a call saying she has stepped on a pressure sensitive bomb. She opens the floor, sees that the device is a Bouncing Betty, effortlessly rips the leg off the sturdy table, triggers the bomb by taking the weight off her foot, and as the bomb flies straight up she bats it out the window. The explosion takes out the side of the building and leaves her slightly sooty. She gives a middle finger to the camera that is monitoring her and runs out the building and jumps in her car.
Agent Maxfield tells Avery about detainee and link to Kali who got his hands on a top secret file whose scope is deadly. She talks her way in to see the detainee, knocks him about a bit, pulls out his fake tooth, but the secret container in it is empty. She fights her way out of the facility, and is now on the wanted list.
Evans tells Jarvis that Canary Black is said a top secret master list of blackmail material for all government personnel. Avery calls Jarvis from his own home and tells him her husband has been kidnapped. Soon thereafter, CIA storms Jarvis's place.
Avery gets a video call of her husband tied and beaten. It's now 8pm, only 4 hours remaining. She meets with Jarvis in his car, but is suddenly captured by CIA - Jarvis had trapped her. As the car is driving away with her, another car with masked men shoots at them. Her car is toppled, but she manages to escape. A masked man attacks, but she stabs him with his own knife. It is her neighbor Niklaus, but he dies before she can get anything out of him.
Evans meets with Breznov and they form a partnership. Avery checks into a hotel under an assumed name with guns and arms. She climbs out, and enters Evans's room. She puts a mute mask on Evans and asks him for his account password. But the password doesn't work because the account is frozen and can be accessed only with computers inside PLK Technologies. She calls her hacker friend and asks for a CIA server secure access.
The hacker friend gets a drone and Avery rides it into PLK technologies. Logs into server with password and copies Canary Black files. She escapes the building on the same drone. They finally see what is on Canary Black - it's not a blackmail list, but a virus that causes computer systems to crash - a doomsday virus for each country. Avery texts Jarvis to track her phone and goes to answers the phone about her kidnapped husband a bit too late, but a man tasers and kidnaps her.
Breznov transmits a video to the Global Unification Summit about his access to Canary Black, the geo-targeted computer virus, which can end internet usage and create a stock market crash, and requests a ransom of 1% of GDP of every country, roughly a trillion dollars. As an example, he targets Singapore, cutting off all power.
Jarvis tracks the phone and locates the hideout, but is captured by Breznov who kills him. His watch, which contains a tracking device, is used by the CIA to find his body. As Avery is hanging on chains, her husband David is shot. But surprisingly, David grabs a knife and kills everyone around him! It turns out that David told Breznov about Canary Black! David reveals that he is Kali!
Ransom money slowly starts pouring in. But David kills the power to transmit the virus. Avery kills Breznov and is able to stop the virus from uploading completely.
Avery returns the ring to David, says their marriage is beyond fixing. CIA arrives - David escapes, but Avery is captured. While she is in custody, Elizabeth Mills arrives, and offers Avery a job at MC6 instead of prison - a new organization that takes on critical missions on the highest scale of threat.
As Avery is walking outside, she sees her wedding ring on a handrail, indicating that her husband is still alive.
