Realizing that one of the old illegal black operation programs, Emerald Lake, is back up and running, Jack Reacher soon finds out that the assassination program is being used to take out him and Bourne, meaning that all of the government's toughest agents are set to hunt them down. Even though Bourne and Reacher didn't leave off on a good note before, they both know they have to set aside their pasts and work together to see another day.
