Michael Mace, the head of security at a top-secret research facility, finds himself in a makeshift morgue twenty-four hours after an event that claimed the lives of everyone, including his best friend, Shelby Shrewsberry. To honor his late friend, Michael embarks on a mission to help Nina Dozier and her son, John, whom Shelby greatly admired. Although his actions bring forth the wrath of Johns father, a member of one of the most violent street gangs in Los Angeles, an even greater threat looms: the Internal Security Agency's most ruthless assassin, Durand Calaphas. Determined to capture Michael, Calaphas will stop at nothing, even if it means killing him twice to prevent him from living a third time.
