When a collection of Asian artifacts is disposed of at a local antique shop, a mythical series of events begins to unfold. The shop owner is turned into a warrior in ancient China fated to battle a demon responsible for enslaving all of humankind. He is encouraged but then ultimately betrayed by a deceptive female warrior who has captured his heart, and therefore carries his greatest weakness in her hands. An eternal prophecy has defined this hero's fate; now he must fight back against the impossible. (official distributor synopsis)
