Vindictive's protagonist Michael Faytes, played by Ryan Dowley is a talented and highly capable young ex-MI6 agent who left after his wife, whom he secretly marries at the early age of 21 passed away in an alleged terrorist bombing. He believes it was his responsibility as an agent to have somehow prevented her death and the incident and therefore drowns in guilt and anger.
Blinded by rage and a thirst for vengeance he is determined to capture those responsible for his pain and make them pay and fails to see signs that all is not as it seems. His anger leads him to danger and his skill out of it.
As the film progresses Michael begins to stumble upon confusing clues which cause him to trust even his closest less and less, as the plot takes twists and turns and he approaches the shocking truth.
The mysterious figure which knocks Michael out at the end of the film opening, is later revealed to be Philip Congman (here played by Yasser Ibrahim), Michael's close friend and experienced mentor from MI6, one who he believed was doing him favours, when he was in fact deceiving him with false information in fear of Michael discovering the truth behind the purpose of the so called Al-Sabaat terrorist attack; set up by the agency, an operation lead by Philip.
Omar Adam (Halim El-Rhaffouli; Left image above), a British born agent of Lebanese origin and James Ali (Martin Al-Ashouti; Right image above) also British of Egyptian decent; called in to preserve the truth behind their operation by appearing as one of the members of the amateur terrorist group, The Al-Sabaat, hence the overt, stereotypical portrayal of terrorists as being of Arab decent and wearing traditional Arabian clothing to deceive the blinded by rage, Michael Faytes.
