A former soldier working in a daycare center must take a young child, Riki, home with him when his mother does not show up to pick him up at the end of the day. While driving home he escapes a kidnap attempt on the child by a mysterious group of armed men and decides to hide out with his former lover Saeko, a female former soldier with whom he was in love during their time in the service together. The attackers, led by the boy's father the King of Moldova, captured his mother earlier and are now coming for his son.
