32nd generation Chinese Shaolin Fighting Monk Li Bao Xin must immigrate to New York City to look after young Janie, his six-year-old niece. Struggling to make a new life, Li Bao will face challenges that test his character more than his physical strength. Through it all, his mind remains filled with the heroic stories of the Shaolin Temple, a great tradition that defines him, but also makes his assimilation to western culture more difficult. While in China he was a venerated master, in America he is nobody. To make a life for him and Janie, Li Bao must contend with a modern society, where his great fighting skills and heroic lineage have little meaning. He will have to decide which is more important, his dreams or his family.

Angela is a top-rate narcotics detective and Joe is a hard-nosed homicide detective. Both are going through a bad divorce.

But, when a powerful drug lord seeks to get back what is rightfully his, he crosses the line and the two detectives are forced back together again. Angela and Joe are hell-bent on showing the bad guys that they messed with the wrong family.
