Ngoc Minh Quan, a veteran of the Vietnam War who served in special operations forces, is a widower and lives in London, where he and his daughter Fan, who is in her teenage years, own a Chinese restaurant together with their business partner Lam. Quan vows to exact vengeance after Fan’s death at the hands of terrorist bombers. Irish republican activists calling themselves the “Authentic IRA” have taken credit for the attack. Quan begins making regular trips to Scotland Yard in an effort to obtain the names of those responsible for the bombings.

However, when he does so, he is informed by Commander Bromley, the head of the police department, that his visits are taking resources away from the inquiry. Bromley counsels Quan to exercise patience and discourages him from pursuing legal action against the IRA. Undeterred, Quan takes matters into his own hands and directs his attention next on Liam Hennessy, who is the deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland and a politician for Sinn Féin. Hennessy is known for openly discussing his status as a former leader of the Provisional IRA, despite the fact that he claims to publicly condemn the attack. After making the necessary purchases, Quan leaves to Belfast, leaving Lam in charge of the restaurant. Quan’s improvised weapons are a success.
