This interracial crime thriller tells the story of a complex underworld enforcer -- a killer with a conscience -- who is in pursuit of a small-time businessman who stole a "pigeon-blood red" ruby necklace worth millions. He trails the thief from Chicago to Honolulu, but the chase goes sideways after the hardened hit man develops a grudging respect for a couple of innocent bystanders who become embroiled in the crime: the thief's unsuspecting wife and an old flame who comes to her rescue as the enforcer closes in. The hit man ultimately faces a difficult decision: follow orders and kill them or spare them and endanger the life of the woman he loves.
