Eighteen months after escaping the FBI, the fugitive Four Horsemen—J. Daniel Atlas, Merritt McKinney, Jack Wilder, and new member Lula May—await orders from the Eye, the secret society of magicians. Their handler, FBI Special Agent Dylan Shrike, delivers instructions on their latest mission: to expose corrupt tech CEO Owen Case, whose latest cell phone will secretly collect users' personal data to sell on the black market.

In New York City, the Horsemen hijack the phone's launch but are interrupted by a mysterious figure who reveals to the public that Jack faked his death and that Dylan is working with the Horsemen. Dylan eludes the FBI as the Horsemen escape down a construction chute only to find themselves in Macau suddenly. They are captured by Chase, Merritt's twin brother, and brought to Walter Mabry, Owen's former business partner. Having exposed the Horsemen in New York, Walter reveals how they were lulled unconscious and flown to Macau. Owen took his company from him and a chip designed by Walter to access any computer system worldwide. Despite the protests of the other Horsemen, Daniel agrees to steal the chip for Walter before Owen can sell it.
