After dismantling a human trafficking ring, former military investigator turned vigilante drifter Jack Reacher returns to his old military headquarters to meet Major Susan Turner, who has been assisting him in his investigations, only to learn from his old rival, Colonel Sam Morgan, that Turner has been accused of espionage and detained.

Turner's attorney, Colonel Bob Moorcroft, reveals that there is evidence that Turner is involved in the murders of two soldiers in Afghanistan, but Reacher believes she is being framed. Moorcroft also reveals an old acquaintance of Reacher’s, Candice Dayton, has filed a paternity suit against him, claiming he’s the biological father of her 15-year-old daughter, Samantha Dayton. Moorcroft is later killed by an assassin known as “The Hunter”.

Reacher reaches out to Samantha, but she rebuffs him, believing he's after her biological mother due to her past as a drug addict. Reacher is later framed for Moorcroft’s murder and detained by Morgan alongside Turner. Assassins arrive to kill them, but Reacher neutralizes them, rescues Turner and they escape to Morgan’s house, having deduced he’s involved in the conspiracy, and extract information. After they leave, the Hunter kills Morgan and frames Reacher.

Reacher and Turner uncover surveillance pictures of Samantha and surmise she’s in danger, arriving at her home to find her foster parents dead and a terrified Samantha hiding in the kitchen. Upon learning from a friend, Sergeant Leach, that he’s also been framed for Morgan’s death, Reacher decides to escort Samantha to a private school for protection, but quickly deduces she was spared to be used against him and decides to bring her along. Reacher, Turner and Samantha travel to New Orleans in search of Daniel Prudhomme, the only eyewitness to the murders that Turner has been framed for. They find him in a derelict warehouse filled with drug addicts and learn that Prudhomme is connected to Parasource, a private military organization that is trying to cover up the murders. Reacher contacts Turner’s friend, Captain Anthony Espin, to move Prudhomme into custody, but they are ambushed by assassins. Prudhomme is killed, while Reacher rescues Espin and finds out that the assassins are Parasource contractors. Parasource's CEO, General James Harkness sends the assassin (The Hunter) to get Samantha after she uses a credit card to order room service.

Reacher and Turner, along with Espin, acting on the last information from Prudhomme intercept a flight of weapons due to leave the country. There they are confronted by Parasource’s CEO, General James Harkness, and his men. Upon opening the crates, they find weapons as on the manifest. Before Turner can be re-arrested, Reacher opens up one of the weapons crates and discovers that they are filled with opium inside. They learn that Harkness framed Turner, who had been investigating his activities, for the murders of two soldiers who discovered that Harkness was selling weapons to insurgents and smuggling the opium into the United States. Espin and his men arrest Harkness, clearing Reacher’s and Turner’s names. The Hunter locates and chases Samantha through the streets to lure Reacher into a confrontation. Turner kills one of the assassins after Samantha, whilst Reacher takes out another one on the rooftop. The Hunter captures Samantha and he threatens to kill her, but she manages to escape and steal his gun. Reacher then tackles the Hunter and they have a vicious fight that culminates with Reacher breaking the Hunter’s neck.

Reacher then admits to Samantha he might be her father.

Turner is reinstated in her old position and goes back to her office where her collegues and Captain Espin all welcome her back, and Reacher promises to keep in touch.

While talking to Samantha at a diner, he says that he should recognize her mother as he remembers everyone he has slept with. Samantha reveals that the waitress that had been serving him his third coffee, is her biological mother and that Reacher can’t be her father as they didn’t recognize each other. Reacher and Samantha reluctantly part and Reacher hitches a ride to another town. A phone rings in his pocket and it turns out that there is a message from Samantha as she had slipped the phone into his pocket as they parted at the school. Source: Wikepedia
