PlotIn a crime-ridden Los Angeles, the city is gripped by a series of violent murders orchestrated by a brutal cult known as the "New World."

When a witness named Ingrid Knudsen accidentally stumbles upon the gang's activities, she becomes their primary target. Cobra is assigned to protect her, recognizing that she holds crucial information to dismantle the cult and put an end to their reign of terror.
As Cobra and Ingrid go on the run, the cult's relentless leader marshals his ruthless followers to eliminate them both. The stakes heighten as Cobra's methods come under scrutiny from law enforcement agencies, yet his determination to save Ingrid and stop the cult remains unwavering. Taking the fight directly to the criminals, Cobra relies on his combat skills, survival instincts, and sheer willpower.
