Plot

UN operative Neil Shaw is sent to South Korea to stop a potential nuclear threat amidst reunification talks with North Korea. Shaw's team is attacked, resulting in the death of one agent. During the firefight, Shaw encounters Sun Yi, who is with the arms dealers, and takes her into custody. Shaw's superior, Gaines, arrives in South Korea but is intercepted and killed by men working for the arms dealer. They plant evidence to frame Shaw for the murder, making him a fugitive from the FBI and the Triads. Shaw must evade capture, clear his name, and stop the North Korean separatists from acquiring a nuclear bomb.
