Affleck’s Wolff leads a double life, working as an accountant publicly, but secretly, he is a bookkeeper for criminal organizations. The plot follows Christian as he is asked to audit Living Robotics, a legitimate firm, due to a discrepancy. The company’s CFO dies mysteriously, and in the meantime, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is trying to capture him for his various crimes.
Wolff, however, proves to be a very slippery customer, with the law on one side, and assassins on the other. He manages to escape using the skills his father taught him as a young boy. In a flashback sequence, we learn more about Christian and his struggles, which led to his mother to leaving the family. He is taken to Harbor Neuroscience, where he meets a young girl who is completely nonverbal. Christian’s father rejects the institute’s offer to help his son.
Instead, he decides to overload Christian’s senses by exposing him to his triggers relentlessly. He also trains him and his brother in martial arts. As an adult, Wolff is an expert marksman, and he resorts to rock music to calm himself down.
