== Overview ==
=== Early life ===
Ngoc Minh Quan was a Nung Chinese special forces operative recruited by US special forces to participate Vietnam War. After fleeing Vietnam, he survived the raid on the refugee boat by Thai pirates he fought while the Thai pirates killed his first two daughters.
Years later, after coming to London, Quan owns a Chinese restaurant.
Quan's wife died while giving birth to Fan.
=== Terrorist attack ===
While his teenage daughter Fan goes to the shop to buy dresses, an explosion goes off at the street, killing some people (including Fan) and injuring the others (including Quan) in the process.
=== Quest for vengeance ===
When an Irish republic group, the "Authentic IRA" claims to be responsible of that attack, Quan goes to visit Scotland Yard daily and he asks for the names of the bombers. But the police chief, Commander Bromley recommends him to be patient until they find the identity of the bombers. Undeterred, Quan takes matters into his own hands, and he goes to Belfast while his friend and co-owner of the restaurant he works at, Keyi Lam control the same restaurant.
Quan meets the Sinn Féin politician and Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, Liam Hennessy. However, Hennessy has no knowledge of the bombing and its perpetrators despite him being a former member of the Provisional IRA. Not believing Hennessy, Quan sets off a homemade bomb at Hennessy's building until he leaves a fake explosive on Hennessy's car as warnings unless Hennessy gets a name of the bombers.
Quan observes Hennessy seeing his mistress, and takes a picture on them kissing in a restaurant. At his guesthouse, Quan fights Hennessy's men and escapes.
Quan then brings the fight to Hennessy, hiding in the trees outside his farmhouse and attacking it with several explosives. As Hennessy's henchmen attempt to track him in the forest, Quan uses his traps to slow them down and flees despite being shot in the shoulder. Hennessy also investigates Quan's background in his house, and the latter contacts his nephew Sean Morrison, a former Royal Irish Regiment soldier, by hoping that Morrison's tracking skills can be used to stop Quan.
Sean finds Quan's hiding place in the forest. After a knife fight, Quan captures Sean, who names the terrorists and their location in London until Quan lets him go.
As the police and MI5 are about to raid the bombers' London hideout, Quan enters the flat in the disguise of a handyman and kills everyone except Maggie who is severely wounded instead.
Quan confronts Hennessy with the picture of him kissing Maggie, which is sufficient to throw public suspicion Hennessy and his role in the bombings. He forces Hennessy, by pointing his gun at him, to post the picture on the internet, publicly exposing his association with Authentic IRA and destroying his political career. Quan returns to his restaurant in London and reunites with Lam. Scotland Yard realizes Quan's role in the events and has him put under surveillance; Bromley chooses not to take any further against Quan and keeps him as "observe and report only". He returns to his restaurant, much to the relief of Lam.
