Mac Ramsey (Ivan Sergei) is a thief who lives in China with his fellow thief and lover Li Ann (Sandrine Holt). When they try to escape from the ruthless Tang family, a building blows up and Mac and their enemy Michael are presumed dead. Li Ann moves on to a new life in Canada working as a secret agent. Here, she meets handsome ex-cop Victor (Nicholas Lea) and falls in love. But their lives are turned upside down when Mac is recovered from a prison he has spent 18 months in. He has two choices - either be on the street and be killed by the Tangs, or work for the agency. So the three are pushed together under a manipulative yet complicated woman known only as "The Director" (Jennifer Dale). Is she a cruel-hearted evil old cow? Or is there something different lurking under her troubled exterior?? Soon, this mis-matched group have to learn to get along in this strange agency with the other weird agents - the local assassins Camier & Murphy (Greg Kramer and Julian Richings), the paranoid librarian Nathan Muckle (James Allodi), a teenage gangster named Jackie (Vicky Pratt) and The Director's henchman - Agent Dobrinsky (Howard Dell). Can they achieve a lasting friendship, or are their differences too great? (Verleiher-Text)

Deutsch Die Serie, die auf den gleichnamigen Film von John Woo zurückgeht, bot eine besonders gute Gelegenheit für Vicky Pratt, die in acht Episoden ihr Debüt gab. Originelle Plots, ungewöhnlicher Humor und ein Höchstmaß an Ironie, so dass das Ganze auch bei mehreren Wiederholungen sehr gut verdaulich ist. ()
