The 355 stars Jessica Chastain as Mace, a contractor for the CIA. When Mace is betrayed during a mission to recover the ultimate, all in one, world ending MacGuffin, she goes out on her own and outside the law to find out who betrayed her. Joining Mace, eventually, on this mission is Marie Schmidt (Diane Kruger), a German operative with the same mission of getting the ultimate, all in one, world ending MacGuffin but claiming it for Germany and not letting it go to the United States intelligence apparatus.
Also, eventually helping Mace is Khadija (Lupita Nyongo), a hacker turned MI6 Operative who specializes in technology. Finally, there is Graciela (Penelope Cruz), a member of the Colombian intelligence service though not as an agent. Graciela is a mental health counselor who is sent to Paris to bring back an agent who has gone rogue after acquiring the ultimate, all in one, world ending MacGuffin. Graciela winds up in the middle of all of the action surrounding the MacGuffin despite her lack of combat experience.
