Recently-downsized, hard-on-his-luck Malik Brody (Kadeem Hardison) nurses his woes in a bar, but the trouble only worsens when another patron grabs Malik and uses him as a human shield to escape capture by gun-toting thugs. It turns out that his abductor, a Chinese assassin named Toby Wong (Mark Dacascos), is on the run from a greedy, soul-sucking biotech corporation that wants a special chip that's implanted in his chest. And like most greedy, soul-sucking corporations, they'll kill to get what they want. So now the two men have to fight their way out, with the help of a quirky young seductress named Deliverance (Brittany Murphy).
