Former United States Marine and intelligence operative Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) now lives in a working-class apartment complex in urban Massachusetts, working as a Lyft driver, and sometimes dispensing vigilante justice around the world with technical assistance from DIA friend, Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo). After discovering the apartment courtyard has been vandalized, McCall accepts the an offer to repaint the walls from Miles Whittaker (Ashton Sanders), a young resident with an artistic but troubled background. Plummer is called to investigate an apparent murder-suicide of an agent and his wife in Brussels along with DIA operative Dave York (Pedro Pascal), McCall's former teammate. After the investigation, Plummer is ambushed by assailants and is killed. McCall investigates Plummer's murder, as well as the case she had been investigating. McCall determines that the murder-suicide was staged and Plummer was murdered because she was close to finding the truth. McCall informs York of his findings.
During one of his Lyft rides, an assassin posing as a passenger attempts to kill McCall. McCall kills the assailant then retrieves his phone to collect intel on who the assailant works for. The following morning, McCall visits York's home, appearing to need assistance in breaking through a military grade encryption on the assailant's phone. However, McCall had already broken the encryption on the assailant's cell. McCall reveals to York that he is the one who ordered the hit on both him and Susan. York concedes and divulges that he personally finished off Susan, as the two assailants did not kill her. York states that Susan would have figured out that was behind the kill of the agent and his wife in Brussels. York rants about dark choices he and the rest of the teammates made after the McCall faked his own death, due to being cast aside after working for the government. McCall meets with the three remaining teammates, Resnik, Ari, and Kovac; threats are exchanged. Resnik and Ari head to Susan's house to kill her husband Brian. However McCall intercepts Brian before they could find him. York and Kovac later infiltrate McCall's apartment and capture Miles, and deduce where McCall is headed to.
As a hurricane moves in, McCall returns to his seaside hometown, which has been evacuated. Kovac, Ari, and Resnik head after McCall as York situates himself in a sniper position. McCall kills all the men and rescues Miles.
Back in Massachusetts, Miles finishes the apartment complex restoration from the vandalism, returns to school, and focuses on his art. McCall, having moved back into his old house, then looks out towards the calm sea.
