Synopsis

One of the deadliest assassins of the world, Raizo (Rain) was taken from the streets as a child and transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan. This particular clan is a society shrouded in secrecy to the extent that its very existence is thought to be a myth.

Raizo is a troubled soul, who is overcome and haunted by the Clan's merciless execution of his friend, manages to break free from their clutches and vanishes...

Meanwhile Berlin based Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomi Harris) uncovers a money trail linking several political murders to a secret network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Delibrately ignoring a direct order from her boss, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), Mika delves into top secret files and learns the truth behind the murders.

Her determined actions though now put her life in jeopardy, as a group of ninja assassins headed by the lethal Takeshi, close in on their latest target - Mika.

Raizo who has been monitoring the developing, dangerous situation saves Mika from certain annihilation, but the two are inextricable bound together in a dire game of cat and mouse to stay alive and outmanoeuvre and finally bring down their ninja assassins - the elusive Ozunu Clan.
