J.J. is a hitman so effective he has been nicknamed Death Scythe. He takes a significant job from one of the city's warring factions—but when he arrives at the location, his target is not there. Instead he finds a couple who had nothing to do with the contract, dead on the floor, and then the couple's son bursting in and assuming J.J. killed his parents. The son swears revenge. Five years later, J.J. and the boy are living together under a low profile, waiting for the suspicion to quiet. The factions Dragon Head and King Caesar are still at war. Eventually J.J. draws the attention of both. Which side he chooses will determine what these five years of quiet were worth.
