Tyler is a young chinese working in the illegal body guard company of his uncle. He accidentally meets Jack, a chinese mercenary who once worked for a south american gang and both become pals. As Jack's former employers decide to make some business in Hong-Kong, Tyler is charged to protect their boss. Jack kills him (the boss), steals the money of the deal and is soon the target of his old friends, Tyler's body guard organization and the Hong-Kong police. A masterpiece of the genre. Recommended.
