A bungled bank robbery puts two cops - one Russian and one American on the trail of the Russian Mafia crime family operating out of L.A. The Russian police officer, an elite agent from Moscow, has been tracking these gangsters since they murdered his family two years earlier. When the Mafia lord realizes he is after then, they kidnap his American partner's wife and two young daughters, holding them hostage. The price of their freedom is the Russian agent's life.
