After seeing his best friend killed by a shapeshifting superhuman, a wounded former Navy Seal is lead to a mysterious yoga ashram who has ties to this deadly assassin, and uses their training to overcome his physical disabilities and gains superpowers himself.
A Navy Seal who witnesses his best friend’s death during an attack by a vengeful terrorist with an extraordinary ability to manipulate nature vows his own revenge on her. He discovers her history with the secret, elite yoga sect she rebelled against, whose remaining members want him to harness his own potential for superpowers in order to stop the terrorist.
A former Navy SEAL swears revenge on the powerful shapeshifting villain responsible for his best friend's death, but finds that his only chance of doing so involves joining a group of "super yogis" who practice mind control to harness their nonviolent powers. As he learns their methods and hones his own superpowers, the villain enacts a plan to set off a catastrophic tsunami, forcing the man and his fellow yogis into a battle over the fate of the world.
