A lean, action-driven thriller built on martial arts combat and personal vengeance, with a stoic hero facing down ninja assassins and an old nemesis.
Scott James, a veteran martial arts expert, is recruited as the protector of the wealthy and beautiful Justine after she becomes the target of a ninja clan. When Scott finds out that his ruthless arch-nemesis, McCarn , is involved with the stealthy and dangerous criminals, he is eager to settle old scores.
