Plot Summary

Kane is being taken to death row after being convicted of manslaughter. A long with him, another death row inmate, known only as Lynch, informs Kane there will be a breakout. Their truck is later ambushed by a group of mercenaries. The two are then taken to a construction site, where they are confronted by four members of a crime syndicate called The 7, led by The Brothers and their henchmen Carlos (a close friend of Kane) and Mute. They accuse Kane of stealing a small fortune from them, and reveal that they have taken his wife and daughter hostage. Kane is given three weeks to retrieve the money or his wife and daughter will be killed. Later, Kane explains to Lynch that he did not steal from The 7, but knows who did, and where they hid it. Kane and Lynch rob a local bank where the money is being kept. Though only half of the money is inside the safe, Kane believes he knows where the other half is. Meanwhile, Lynch, who suffers from periodic episodes of violent psychosis, blacks out and kills all of the hostages after his medication wears off, forcing Kane and Lynch to shoot their way out and flee in a van driven by their getaway driver. Losing the police in the subway after the van crashes, Kane informs Lynch that they need to go to Tokyo to retrieve the other half of the money. In Tokyo, the pair go after Retomoto, a Japanese crime lord and the man believed to hold the other half of the money, by kidnapping his daughter Yoko as ransom. While Kane negotiates with Retomoto over the phone, Lynch accidentally shoots and kills Yoko while trying to stop her from escaping. Written by Lynch
