Synopsis

Toorop (Vin Diesel) stars as the mercenary hired by mafia boss (Gerard Depardieu) to deliver a mysterious package from the ravages of post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe to a destination in New York City. The package turns out to be a beautiful young woman, Aurora (Melanie Thierry) who is hiding a potentially deadly secret. Her tutor, kickboxing nun Sister Rebeka (Michelle Yeoh), insists on accompanying Toorop as Aurora’s protector. While Toorop thinks this is an ordinary assignment, he gradually learns that there is far more to Aurora than meets the eye and that this is a mission like no other. The stakes are raised and Toorop is forced to battle it out against the big bosses in order to protect what's important to him.
