An explosive, pulse-pounding thriller featuring international action-superstar, Jackie Chan.

Hundreds of Chinese refugees with dreams of a better life wash up on Japan's Wakasa Bay, but most encounter only prejudice and oppression. One, a law-abiding farm-worker known as Steelhead (Jackie Chan), has come to find the woman he has loved since childhood, but his quest ends in bitter rejection, when he discovers she has married a Yakuza boss.

Heartbroken, his life descends into darkness, and petty crime quickly escalates to murder. With blood on his hands, he risks everything to secure a future for his people, as they face an increasingly brutal onslaught from a criminal empire protected by a secret code. However, ancient traditions will not be broken, and his defiance leads to all-out war, as both factions fight for control of the infamous Shinjuku district of Tokyo.
