Jackie Chan plays an honest cop, Chan Ka-Kui, assigned to protect a witness whose key testimony could bring down the drug baron, Chu. However, when the witness gets away from Chan, there\u2019s no evidence to put Chu away, and he is set free. Chu goes on a vendetta to frame Chan for a murder. He goes on the run and must quickly find the witness to protect her and prove his own innocence.<\/p>\n

Enter Sarah (Lou de La\u00e2ge), a confident and charismatic new transfer student who exudes an intoxicating air of boldness and danger.
