Plot Overview
Nico Hawk (Casper Van Dien) and Rick Hart (Sean Patrick Flanery) were once an unstoppable duo of elite hitmen and “cleaners” in the criminal underworld. However, their partnership ended in bitter resentment after Nico crossed the ultimate line by sleeping with Rick’s partner.
Years later, a dangerous new crime lord named Sunny Gill (Parmish Verma) partners with Russian mobs and attempts to take over the entire local territory. When Sunny kidnaps a young girl—the daughter of their former mob boss’s key financial manager—to extort control of the syndicate, their old boss summons Nico and Rick to reunite for one last mission.
Offered a huge payday and the chance to finally retire from the mob life for good, the two bitter former friends agree to a truce. Forced to cut through waves of corrupt cops, rival assassins, and triad enforcers, Nico and Rick must rely on their lethal skills to save the hostage and take down Sunny’s empire—assuming they don’t kill each other first.
