Patrick Walker is a homicide detective, estranged from his family and on the payroll of Lawrence Beaumont, a real estate tycoon, mayoral candidate, and father of Charlie. Charlie is part of a gang of thieves, alongside his girlfriend Mia, Johnny, and Wes, all of whom steal a batch of washing machines that contains a hidden shipment of cocaine. They are pursued by Vincent, Hayes, Jake and Cortez, a group of narcotics squad detectives. Cortez is badly wounded and hospitalized.
That night, Charlie and Mia take the stolen cocaine to Tsui, the head of the local Triad. Mia had stolen Tsui's car and was forced to work for him to pay off the debt. While there, a gang of masked assailants bursts into the hideout, gunning down Tsui and his enforcers. Charlie and Mia barely escape. The masked gang is in league with Ching, Tsui's uncle and disgruntled lieutenant.
