Sam is an ex-CIA operative who teams up with some other mercenaries or ronin in Europe. He is recruited by Deidre an Irish girl and finds out that both the Irish and the Russians are after a mysterious package. Sam teams up with Vincent who has many French underworld connections. Gregor is also part of the team and is an ex German member of the KGB with ties to the Russian mafia. The team of mercenaries has to steal the package from the Russians. Gregor double crosses Sam and Vincent who try to get the package back. Seamus O’Rourke is an Irish terrorist which is running the whole operation who works through Deidre. He eventually makes an appearance once they have obtained the package and Sam’s real mission comes to light.
