A CIA agent, the “Protagonist”, participates in an extraction operation at the Kyiv opera house. After seizing an artifact, the Protagonist is captured by mercenaries. He is tortured before consuming a suicide pill. He awakens to learn the suicide pill was a test of loyalty and that the artifact was lost. The Protagonist is recruited by an organization called Tenet. A scientist briefs him on bullets with “inverted” entropy, meaning they move backward through time. The Protagonist meets his handler, Neil, through a CIA contact, and they trace the inverted bullets to arms dealer Priya Singh in Mumbai, India. They learn that Priya is a member of Tenet, and her cartridges were purchased and inverted by Russian oligarch Andrei Sator.
The Protagonist approaches Sator’s estranged wife Kat, an art appraiser who falsely authenticated a forged Goya drawing. She tells him that Sator purchased the drawing from the forger, Arepo, and is using Kat’s authentication as blackmail to control her in their relationship. The Protagonist and Neil plot to steal the drawing from Rotas freeport storage facility at the Oslo Airport. There they fend off two masked men who emerge from a device. Afterward, Priya explains that the device is a turnstile, a machine that can invert the entropy of objects and people, and that the masked men were the same person traveling in opposite directions through time.
