The trailer opens with a blood-soaked John while in a car with Joey and her son Raymond as they are running away from the authorities. It was then revealed that John and Joey used to be lovers, and the former’s return to Taipei may (or may not) ignite a familiar spark.

The official synopsis reads as follows: “On a deep undercover assignment in Taipei, DEA agent John Lawlor was doing everything right… until he fell in love with his informant, beautiful Josephine “Joey” Kwang, one of the Asian underworld’s best transport drivers. Compromised and cover blown, John was forced to flee. Now, years later, John is back in Taipei for the weekend. But is he here to finish the job? Or to win back Joey’s love?”
