Black Dawn

In the remote region of Romania, a former CIA operative and now a mercenary named John Daniels is tasked with a mission to rescue a senator's daughter. However, the mission quickly turns into a high-stakes battle for survival when they discover a deadly plot involving stolen nuclear weapons and a rogue mercenary group.
