French detective Alain Moreau is pulled into his dead twin brother’s hidden life when a murder investigation takes him from the south of France to New York City. Jean-Claude Van Damme is Alain, following clues that connect his brother to Russian mobsters, renegade FBI agents, and a wider conspiracy. Natasha Henstridge’s Alex Bartlett, the dead man’s girlfriend, becomes his uneasy ally as both are hunted across the city. Built around Van Damme’s double-role setup, the film moves from Riviera intrigue to New York back alleys, with mistaken identity, cross-border crime, and a brother’s death opening the door to something much bigger.
