==Plot==
{{Plot|date=April 2009}}
During the opening credits, a narrator ([[Dakota Fanning]]) tells us how those with abilities have been involved with the government since 1945. The opening scene shows two Movers, Nick Gant and his father on the run from the "Division". Realizing that escape is impossible, Nick's father tells him of a vision he received from a Watcher; a girl will give him a flower and he is to do what she says in order to "save us all." He then throws him through an air vent as Agent Henry Carver ([[Djimon Hounsou]]) of Division arrives. Nick's father then fights the Agents, taking out only two (on screen) before he is killed while Nick escapes.

Ten years later, the American Division is testing a potentially deadly augmentation drug on a Pusher named Kira ([[Camilla Belle]]). While the test seems like a failure, when the doctor moves in to check Kira's pulse, she reveals herself to be alive (the one and only to ever live). Knocking the doctor out, Kira steals his card and a syringe which has the drug in it and escapes with the help of her enhanced abilities and interference from a nearly-catatonic Watcher.

Two days later, the scene changes to [[Hong Kong]], where an adult Nick Gant ([[Chris Evans (actor)|Chris Evans]]) is hiding from Division as an [[expatriate]]. Though he attempts to use his ability to make a living, he displays a poor skill at "moving" and is not successful at fixing a local dice game, leaving him in debt to a local Triad—which happens to be controlled by Bleeders bred by the now defunct Chinese Division. After making his escape from the gamblers, he returns to his apartment and finds that the American Division has located him. Two Sniff Agents, Mac and Holden ([[Cory Stoll]] and [[Scott Michael Campbell]]), demand to know if he has seen a certain girl. While Mac sniffs around Nick's apartment, Holden psychically reads about Nick's actions in this apartment, and finds out he hasn't yet met the girl. The two Agents then leave, taking Nick's toothbrush in case they need to find him again.

Almost immediately following the encounter a young girl named Cassie Holmes ([[Dakota Fanning]]) comes to Nick's apartment. Cassie lets herself into his apartment and explains that she is a Watcher and that they are going to find a case containing 6 million dollars. Nick and Cassie then go to a restaurant to further discuss their plans. After a brief chat, Nick is unsatisfied with Cassie's explanations and refuses to help her. While Cassie tries to convince him to help her, Cassie has a vision and proceeds to run ahead, claiming that "they" are here, confusing Nick as to who "they" are. Attempting to escape, the duo's attempt is thwarted by "they" —who are revealed to be the Triads— and after a short pursuit, both are subdued. Nick helps Cassie escape and as the Bleeders prepare to kill him, they are stopped by the Watcher in the Triad's group, who states that without Nick they find no chance of finding the girl. The Triads then leave. As Nick lies on the ground, dying, an unknown woman comes and retrieves him. Cassie then has a vision of a building, finds it and enters. She finds an unconscious Nick lying face-down on a table. The woman who rescued him, a female Stitcher ([[Maggie Siff]]), then heals his wounds because of a favor she owed to Cassie's Mother. As Nick reawakens, Cassie gives him a [[lotus flower]] and he recalls the words of his father, knowing now that he has no other choice than to help Cassie.

Meanwhile, Agent Mac and Holden manage to recapture Kira who has had her memories wiped so it is more difficult for Division to track her. While in the car returning to Carver, Kira tries to Push Holden but he manages to reject it. They then pull over because Kira has to use the bathroom. Mac goes into the bathroom with Kira while Holden waits outside. Inside the restroom, Kira pushes thought of a fictional brother into Mac's head and says that Holden killed him. In anger, Mac storms out of the bathroom and shoots Holden in the back of the head. He then tries to incapacitate Kira, but she manages to incapacitate him instead and escape.

Meanwhile, Nick and Cassie go to Club Bee Boss after Nick see's one of Cassie's drawings of the future which shows the club's sign and a clue to where they should go next to find this girl. Upon entry, Nick see's an old friend, "Hook" Waters ([[Cliff Curtis]]), who happens to be a Shifter and is using his abilities to swoon local ladies and scam the club. After a discussion, he uses his abilities to take a replica of the clue in Cassie's drawing and he tells them to go to Emily Hu ([[Ming Na]]), a highly skilled Sniff who can help them find Kira.

After Nick and Cassie find Kira who is trying to get a ride by using her abilities to trick a young couple into believing the three are all old friends, it is revealed that Nick and Kira know each other prior a former romantic relationship. Kira was apparently captured by Division and Nick failed to realize this. They recruit a Shadow named "Pinky" Stein ([[Nate Mooney]]) to hide Kira from the Sniffs, knowing that it is merely a stopgap measure; a Shadow cannot hide a subject from a Watcher at all, but from Sniffs for a short time, and Division has several tracking Kira. Later that night, Nick and Kira manage to rekindle their relationship while Cassie goes and purchases alcohol in hopes of boosting her powers (it is mentioned earlier that her mother did the same thing), but the plan ends up failing quite humorously.

Then in the morning, Cassie awakens suddenly. The team departs from their apartment and is shown that the Triads had located them. While Nick, Cassie, Pinky and Kira find a new hiding place at Emily’s place, Nick decides that it is time to make a stand. With the help of Emily, he finds Agents Henry Carver and his partner, an advanced Mover named Victor Budarin ([[Neil Jackson]]) and confronts them. Now with greater control over his abilities, Nick holds both Agents at gunpoint and chats with them where Carver reveals that Kira will die if she does not come with them. Soon, Budarin and Nick battle and despite Nick's improved skill, he is easily outmatched by Budarin's superior strength. While Nick and Budarin fight, Carver confronts Cassie. Carver tells Cassie he will not hurt her for if she dies, the future will change to one Carver may not like. Cassie then says that the same will happen if Nick dies. Carver then returns to the Movers' battle where Nick is being severely beaten. Carver tells Budarin it is time to go and both agents depart.

When Nick returns, he finds that Kira is in bad shape and that Carver was telling the truth about the side-effects of the drug. As he comforts her, Cassie barges in and thanks to one of her drawings, finds the key to a locker in which Kira hid a valuable case. With the aid of Cassie's visions, they are able to roughly piece together the events that led them to meet; Cassie's mother used her visions to set a complex plan in motion that will lead to the destruction of Division. Knowing that they are being tracked by Watchers from both Division and the Triad, Nick comes up with an elaborate plan that involves seven envelopes in which he puts instructions in; each person in their group is entrusted one envelope, and none are supposed to open them until the time to act is right.

First, Pinky pretends to sell Kira out, then turns the reward (though he is somewhat disappointed he does not get to keep the money for his efforts) over to Nick. Nick uses the money to pay a Wiper to erase his memories of the plan, ensuring that Watchers from both Division and the Triads will no longer be able to interfere. Meanwhile, after Budarin injects Kira with an immunosuppressant to counteract the adverse effects of the drug, Carver introduces himself to Kira as a friend, saying that her memories are false; she is actually a Division agent volunteered to take the augmentation injection, and suffered memory loss as a side-effect and shows Kira her badge.

During this time, Hook retrieves the case (which doesn't have 6 million dollars, but instead has the syringe Kira stole) and brings it back to Cassie and Emily. He then shifts another case to look exactly like the case with syringe. Cassie then takes the shifted case to Nick's apartment as her instructions stated she should do and waits. Meanwhile, Nick regains consciousness, not having any memory of the envelopes or his plan as he had planned. He then opens his own envelope which simply tells him to return home and does so. When he returns home he finds the case in his room, the female Stitcher who healed him returns the injuries he received from the Bleeders earlier and he collapses in agony. The Stitcher then hands the case over to the Bleeder Triads who give her a great deal of money in return. As she prepares to leave, Nick uses his abilities to take the guns Cassie hid (as she was instructed) and holds the Stitcher at gunpoint, forcing her to heal him. As Cassie and Nick leave the Stitcher tied up in his apartment, Cassie fears the worst because all of her drawing which have to do with her death. Nick promises that she will not die and the two depart, Nick telling Cassie to go and find somewhere to hide without even thinking about it.

Cassie finds her hiding place in a large apartment building, but unfortunately, the Triad Watcher finds her and holds her at gunpoint. Prepared to kill Cassie, the Watcher tells Cassie that she made her look like a fool in front of her family. Before she is able to pull the trigger, the Wiper that wiped Kira and Nick jumps out and wipes all of the Watcher's memories without trouble. It turns out that Cassie had just lured the Watcher out.

Meanwhile, Nick goes to retrieve the augmentation drug himself and confronts Carver, Kira and Budarin. Kira reveals that she has been using Nick the entire time and Nick, defeated, takes the three to the building which holds the lockers and the case. Nick then handcuffed and thrown in the trunk of the car as Kira, Carver and Budarin go to obtain the case. As they do, they are suddenly ambushed by the entire group of Triads. Budarin, Kira and Carver make short-work of most of the Triad's forces and unintentionally free Nick from the car. He then joins the large battle and commences a rematch with Budarin. As Nick finally overpowers Budarin, both are attacked by a Bleeder Triad. Budarin manages to kill the Bleeder and as Nick and him try to once again fight, the Leader of the Triads reveals that he too is a Bleeder and kills Budarin. As the Bleeder continues to scream, Nick causes a very large amount of building material to come down on the Bleeder and successfully kills the leader of the Triads.

He then rushes over to Kira and Carver to confront them once more. Carver beats Nick and then pushes him to go and walk off of the roof of the building. Right before Nick walks off, he suddenly turns and knocks Carver to the ground, grabs the case and jams the syringe in his arm. Carver tries to tell Nick it's a bad idea to use the drug. Despite this, Nick injects himself, falls over and dies. Carver and Kira then depart. Moments later, Cassie walks over to Nick's body and tells him that she told him bring an umbrella. Nick opens his eyes and stands up, and Cassie retrieves the true case, revealing that Nick really only injected himself with soy sauce as they had planned. The duo then leave, Cassie saying that they'll meet Kira again soon enough.

On the flight back to America with a sleeping Agent Carver, Kira opens her purse and finds her red envelope. She remembers Nick telling her to open when "she started doubting the truth" and opens it. Inside, she find a picture of her and Nick at Coney island —proof Carver had altered her memories. Written on the picture is the message "KILL HIM. See you soon, Nick." Kira then pushes Carver, commanding him to put his gun in his mouth and pull the trigger.

As the movie fades to black, a gunshot is heard, suggesting that Carver did as Kira commanded.
