, Marshall loses all three of his men in a seemingly random attack, and he takes it upon himself to investigate the attack, with the help of his girlfriend Tia (Lisa Lovbrand) and his friend Dwayne (David Kennedy

Marshall uncovers CTX, a covert military drug so secret that an arm of the military headed by a man named Werner (Danny Webb
) wants Marshall eliminated. And Tia was one of the two military scientists who developed CTX.
As it turns out, Reina (Evelyne Armela O'Bami), the hooker who killed Marshall's team, was under the influence of CTX, which turns whoever is under its influence into a seemingly unstoppable killer.
A Paris night club owner named Aroon (Adam Croasdell

Marshall, Tia, and Dwayne must stop Aroon and Werner before that happens.
