Synopsis
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 but his decisions are usually right. He is hired by James, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, to protect his girlfriend Michelle, 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 not able to join the Chinese Premier's bodyguard detail in China due to his duties to watch over Michelle.

Michelle eventually storms out of the house and goes to the shopping mall. Unknown to Michelle, the mall is crawling with mob assassins under disguise. A massive shoot-out ensues when the assassins attempt to kill her, but Allan shows up and protects her while taking out the assassins one by one. One of the assassins who posed as a police officer and is killed by Allan during the shoot-out is the younger brother of Wong, a former Chinese soldier who fought together with his brother. Wong seizes his brother's dead body from the police morgue and buries his brother's body later, swearing vengeance on Allan.

In the meantime, Michelle is grateful towards Allan for saving her and develops feelings for him. The two grow closer as they gain a better understanding towards one another. Though Michelle is straightforward with her feelings for him, Allan rejects her pursues because of his duties as her bodyguard.

Things come to a climax when Wong and a group of assassins storm the penthouse and start a gunfight. Allan eventually takes out all the other assailants until only Wong is left and engages Wong in a long hand-to-hand fight but is stabbed in the chest with a bayonet. Michelle breaks cover to hold up a stumbling Allan while James enters the house just as Wong recovers his gun. Wong points his gun at Michelle and asks the two men who is willing to take her place. James attempts to dissuade Wong from shooting by offering to pay Wong, but Wong refuses. Allan shields Michelle with his body and takes two shots but he manages to pull out the bayonet from his chest and throw it towards Wong's neck, killing him. The scene ends with Michelle holding the convulsing Allan and crying inconsolably whilst James watches on.

Before the film ends, James drives Michelle to the border between Hong Kong and mainland China as she tries to see Allan a final time before he heads back to China but the guards at the checkpoint deny them entry into the mainland. Allan leaves Michelle with the box that held the watch she had given to him as a present and he had tried to refuse. However, when she opens it, the box contains his own watch that he was originally wearing, while "Fat Po" (Kent Cheng) receives Allan's payment money to fund his son's school tuition. Michelle cries out Allan's name just as his car drives away from the border back into the mainland.
