Plot
A gang of Ukrainian mobsters manage to steal a device known as "The Handle"; its worth estimated at billions of dollars. The British government hires Nathan Jasmine to retrieve the Handle before billionaire arms dealer Greg Simmonds can sell it to the highest bidder. Nathan hires super-spy Orson Fortune to lead a team made up of Sarah Fidel, JJ Davies and others. The team travels to Madrid, seeking the courier intended to transport the hard drive containing the data from the Handle.
Their search is interrupted by a rival of Nathan's, who seems to have also been hired to retrieve the Handle. Sarah manages to copy the hard drive's contents first. Learning that Simmonds plans to host a charity gala in Cannes, the team decides to infiltrate it by blackmailing Simmonds' favorite movie star, Danny Francesco, into helping them distract Simmonds. Simmonds encourages Danny to spend some time in his Turkish villa in Antalya. Orson infiltrates the Ukrainian mafia house to hack their computers, disguising it as a robbery. The British government warns Nathan that the Handle is an advanced AI that can be programmed to defeat any security system in the world.
Learning that the exchange for the Handle will take place in Antalya, the team travels to Turkey. While Simmonds shows Danny his memorabilia, Orson and JJ track down one of Simmonds' moles in the Turkish government. In spite of the problems the team has caused him, Simmonds is willing to help, telling them that the buyers were two bio-tech moguls who have been hoarding gold and intend to use the Handle to cause a worldwide financial collapse. Confronting them, Orson manages to retrieve the Handle. In Doha, the team is offered another job, but they decide to go on vacation. Orson tells them he has used the proceeds from the robbery at the Ukrainians' villa to finance Danny's new film.
