PlotIn the gritty underworld of Los Angeles, a skilled assassin is under the thumb of a powerful Triad boss. Tasked with carrying out a series of hits to settle his family's debts back in China, he finds his world upended when he fails to execute a job that goes against his moral code. Faced with the betrayal of his own employer, the assassin becomes the target of his former associates. With his life and the safety of his family in jeopardy, he is forced into a corner, sparking a desperate quest for survival and redemption.
His path crosses with a talented forger, a woman with her own set of skills and troubles. Together, they form an unlikely alliance against their common enemies. The assassin's fight to protect his loved ones and escape the clutches of the Triad sends them on a high-octane journey through the criminal underbelly of the city. Dodging bullets and evading ruthless killers sent to replace him, the duo must rely on each other's expertise to outmaneuver their pursuers. As they navigate this perilous world, a bond forms between them, driven by their shared desire for freedom and a new beginning, away from the shadows of their pasts.
