By the look of the trailer for Haywire, the plot seems to be Gina Carono kicks everyone’s butt. The end! However, further research will tell you that there is a little bit of plot to go along with the ass beatings. Gina Carono is a black ops super soldier who is betrayed and set up during a mission.
