Allan is one of the most promising members of an elite corp of international bodyguards based in China. He is known for using highly unorthodox and anti-trust building methods, from helping a VIP escape assassination in a pool, to forcing a VIP to ride on a car with explosives and detonated near him, but his decisions are right. He is hired by James, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, to protect his girlfriend Michelle Leung, who is the only surviving witness to a mob murder. However, Michelle and Allan clash with one another almost immediately because she feels like she is under house arrest, while Allan is equally fed up because he is refused to join the Chinese Premier's bodyguard detail in China due to his duties to watch over Michelle.
