Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Quick-footed martial artist Krit (Mike B.) and adventurous archeology student Praifa (Intira Charoenpura) team up to ensure that the powerful Sacred Heart doesn't fall into the hand of men who would use it to destroy the world. At the close of the 19th Century, the Poisoned Knife clan raided Thailand's Royal Palace and attempted to escape with priceless antiques. Though their mission failed, some of the thieves managed to stash their treasure not far from the scene of the crime. Flash forward to the early-21st Century, when powerful mob boss Wisa (Winston Omega), a descendant of the Poisoned Knife clan, recruits ex-U.S. Special Ops soldier Patrick (Russell Wong) to locate the missing antiques at any cost. When Patrick and stealth assassin Selina (Patharawarin Timkul) attempt to make off with the Sacred Heart, devoted temple boy Krit vows to reclaim the amulet before it falls into the wrong hands. With Praifa on his side, he may just be able to thwart Wisa's plan and save the world.
