Nickolay "Nick" Peyton, a police officer of Russian origin, lives in Manila. During a sting operation Nick is badly wounded and retires from police. Today he works as a private detective with his partner Charlie.

One day, Mrs. Wells comes to hire them to investigate the strange murder of her husband. The search for the murderers leads Nick and Charlie to a base of criminals in the jungle.
