Rebecca Ingram, wife of Senator John Donovan, who is running for US President, recently handed over management of CTU's national headquarters to Keith Mullins and is publicly honored for eliminating terrorist Ibrahim Ben-Khalid. Army rangers Eric Carter and Ben Grimes were part of their six-strong special unit that carried out the operation in Yemen. Ben-Khalid's allies have now revealed the identity of these team members and are looking for a steel cassette, which they torture and kill the team members one after the other. With the help of his wife Nicole, Carter escapes the attackers and then brings them to safety with his brother Isaac, a drug dealer. Ingram suspects that Mullins is working as a mole for the terrorists at CTU, and therefore keeps the current events a secret from him, including with electric shocks . Carter goes to see Grimes, who is mentally unstable as a result of the war, and finds the steel cassette with him that contains a USB stick with the names of sleeper cells in the USA. When the terrorists attacked Carter and Grimes armed, Grimes, who felt left alone by the state, flees with the USB stick. Meanwhile, high school student Amira Dudayev, along with her chemistry teacher David Harris, is keeping a secret from their classmate Drew Phelps that they are both sleepers.

In exchange for the fact that the state is not helping him enough as a veteran, Grimes demands $ 2 million in cash from Carter by 2 p.m. to return the USB stick. Otherwise he threatens to hand over the stick to the terrorists. These are led by Ibrahim's son Jadalla and are already impatient with the activation of the sleeper cells for fear of discovery. When Phelps finds out that Dudayev has conspired with Harris, Harris beats him in the chemistry lab until he thinks he's dead. Meanwhile, Nicole secretly overhears a phone call from Isaac's friend Aisha, in which she plans to cheat him on his next drug deal. Eric Carter also uses an explosive belt to force two patrolmen to let them smuggle him into the evidence room of their police station, where he wants to quickly take the cash out of time. Eric's plan fails because the police prevent him from leaving the chamber and because Ingram and data analyst Andy Shalowitz, who are helping him at CTU, are discovered doing their secret operation. Ingram and Shalowitz had recently discovered that Donovan's campaign manager, Mizrani, was the likely traitor, not Mullins. But she argues against. Donovan from sympathizing with Islamist extremism. He trusts her and wants to use her to anticipate the early publication of revelations that would burden him.

Eric Carter blows a hole in the wall of the evidence room so he can exit. Just as the police encircled him while he was on the run, the police officers there received confirmation from the CTU that Carter was in CTU's service, so that he could get safe conduct from them. Mullins is now in charge of CTU management again, Ingram and Shalowitz are released after a brief interrogation. Carter meets with Grimes and lets him lead him to the subway station where he hides the USB stick. Carter cheats on his friend by assuring him that he will not be monitored. When Grimes tries to hand the stick to Carter, they are surprised by Jadalla and his helpers, who pull the stick back at gunpoint, injuring Grimes and Thomas Locke, the head of CTU's secret operations division. Meanwhile, Phelps, who, contrary to Dudayev and Harris' assumption, is not dead, manages to escape from school to a nearby sports field, where he collapses due to injury. Dudayev accompanies Phelps in the ambulance to get rid of him for good. Meanwhile, John Donovan learns from Ingram that Mizrani is suspected of being a traitor by CTU. However, John's influential father Henry secretly had the evidence for this suspicion falsified to support John's election campaign.

Eric Carter and Grimes are taken to CTU headquarters. Taking up a suggestion from Grimes, Eric von Mullins wants permission to go on a mission to find the arms smuggler Gabriel in order to find Jadalla. Since Mullins rejects this as too daring, Eric and Grimes set about implementing the plan on their own initiative, for which they first break out of CTU custody. Mullins has informed the US president that there is currently a risk of activating 15 to 20 terrorist sleeper cells. Nicole manages to escape Aisha and calls Isaac to warn that Aisha wants to have him murdered; after that she is arrested by the police. Isaac then returns to his accommodation and bribes the police to ensure that Nicole is released by the police. He also lies to his brother about Nicole's situation. John Donovan quickly discovers that Henry placed the evidence incriminating Mizrani. Henry explains this with the fact that his company, which works for him in the Middle East, was blackmailed by IS, and because of this he disclosed the names of Eric's task force to Jadalla's terrorist group. Amira Dudayev is in the hospital where Phelps is being treated. At the instruction of her brother Khasan Dudayev, who is also a terrorist sleeper and bomb maker, she pumps air into Phelps' infusion system.

John has his father arrested and interrogated at CTU. There, much to John's displeasure, Henry denies his contact with Jadalla. Isaac suspects his previous cronies of assisting in his murder and therefore arouses their suspicion. Nicole refuses an advances from Isaac, with whom she was previously in a relationship, and wants to finally leave his violent environment. Ben Grimes leads Eric to Gabriel, whom they have lured to the meeting with top secret US missile construction plans stolen from CTU. It is only when Eric is shocked that he learns that Grimes still owes him money. Since Gabriel regards him as a defaulting debtor, he has him executed by an assistant. Then Eric manages to keep Gabriel in check until CTU agents arrive. Shortly after Gabriel commits suicide, Eric uses his fingerprint to find Jadalla. Mullins revokes Shalowitz at CTU headquarters for helping Eric and Ben escape. Meanwhile, Amira and Khasan Dudayev receive an unexpected visit from their father at home. Because he suspects his children of terrorist plans, they tie him up. Then the sleeper cell that the siblings make is suddenly activated. Responsible for this is the unauthorized action of one of Jadalla's helpers, whom Jadalla therefore punishes with death.

With the threat of harming his relatives, Jadalla blackmailed Eric for help in reconstructing the addresses of the sleeper cells that are on the damaged USB stick. Meanwhile, with Eric's help, CTU discovered Jadalla's hiding place, but found it abandoned because Jadalla had been forewarned by an unplanned press release about the shooting at Gabriel. Meanwhile, Harris delivers some chemicals to Khasan Dudayev, who uses them to complete the explosive barrels with detonators that will serve as bombs for the impending terrorist attack. When Harris and Amira want to flee from Khasan, an armed conflict breaks out, as a result of which Harris and Khasan die. Amira, who sees herself as a fighter against the “infidels”, then drives the truck with the bomb straight to the George Washington Bridge in New York City . Her father was able to free himself and warn the CTU, but the CTU could no longer prevent Amira from detonating the bomb in the middle of the bridge, killing hundreds of people.

As Andy's intention to erase the USB stick is quickly noticed, he sets out to reconstruct the data under torture by Jadalla.
