The only joy in Frank's life is when he gets to call the government pension processing center and talk to his case worker Sarah. Sarah is as bored and lonely as Frank and marks conversations with the unknown Frank and spy novels as the only fun things in her life. When something in Frank's past forces him back into his old line of work and puts the unwitting Sarah in the middle of the intrigue, they begin a journey into Frank's past and the people he used to work with. Like Frank they are all RED ... Retired Extremely Dangerous.
