An American ex-patriot is on the run from the law. There's no place to run or hide. His only hope is a girl with strong ties to the Chinese Mafia. It's kill or be killed as danger and death lurk behind every corner and in China, there are a thousand ways to die.
In the wake of a Supreme Court decision to outlaw the death penalty, California passes an initiative that designates San Bruno island as a dumping spot for first-degree murder convicts, free to do what they like except leave. The main camp of convicts is controlled by the tyrannical Bobby, who rules with an iron hand, and the women are used as sex slaves. A.J. and a group of more free-minded murderers have escaped and gone into hiding. When A.J. and his men liberate the women from Bobby's custody, tensions mount to an all-out confrontation for control of the island.
