Plot: Han Sing (Li) and Trish O'Day (Aaliyah) come from different sides of the world but their paths cross in Oakland, California because they have a lot in common.Han has just arrived from Hong Kong, where his loyalty to his father Chu, an American crime lord, cost him his career in the Hong Kong Police and landed him in jail. Now Han's brother Po is dead, the victim of a brutal war between Chu's Asian crime family and an equally powerful African-American gang. Han, compelled to avenge his brother, comes to a new world armed only with his mental discipline and martial arts skill. But when he arrives and immerses himself in the seedy underbelly of Oakland's waterfront, Han finds that crime lord Isaac ODay is a formidable opponent. Yet, Han receives unexpected help — and underststanding — from O'Day's own beautiful and rebellious daughter, Trish. Like Han, Trish loses the brother she loves to the crime war. For Trish, the final struggle is not about revenge: it is about making the terror end before everyone she cares for is dead. As Han and Trish try to stop the trail of violence and fear cutting through Oakland, they face a series of threats from the enforcers who guard both their families. Trish battles with her wits to evade the thugs her father assigns to watch
