A skilled operative with unmatched precision, she is tasked with protecting a prototype device that could tip the balance of power—and destroy anyone who stands in its way.

Fast, relentless, and cinematic, Edge of Retribution is an adrenaline-fueled thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last bullet flies.
