After leaving the criminal brotherhood known as the Eight-Hundred Dragons, a former member hides out in Manchuria, where the clan’s rule is simple: no one gets out alive. When he is tracked down, a young man named Yao is abducted with him, stripped of his memory, and trained into a martial-arts assassin for the organization.
