Soon after being threatened by a disgruntled business partner, Mister Yu, a Chinese businessman working in Macau, has an attempt made on his life. He contacts his daughter, Ying, who is vacationing in Australia, to make her aware of his plight. Since the disgruntled partner has connections in the police department and with the local underworld, Mister Yu does not feel comfortable trusting in anyone local for his protection.
While in Australia, Ying makes an effort to obtain help for her father. She is directed to Joe and Luke, two ex-military men with amazing skill sets.
Ying, an excellent student of the Wing Chun technique of Kung Fu, tries to goad Luke into fighting her, but Luke is too much of a gentleman to indulge her.
Joe does not have that problem, and a knock-down, drag out fight between Ying and Joe, leads to Luke and Joe being hired as bodyguards and flown to Macau.
While Joe is interviewing the disgruntled partner, that partner is murdered, and Joe is imprisoned for the crime. Joe takes advantage of the situation by first, single-handedly destroying the toughest crew in the prison, garnering respect from all the inmates, and then, finding one who is willing to tell him who would execute the disgruntled partner, and why they would do it.
Joe is released from prison and is back on the case.
It is soon discovered that the real enemy is not some criminal "wanna be," but the boss of the local underworld, and so, what starts off as a routine bodyguard assignment ends up becoming an all-out war.
And, when it comes to war, there is no one better than Joe and Luke.
In the last scene, there is a final reveal, e.g., The Usual Suspects, that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief and delighted with the fact that you "never saw it coming".
