Plot summary
Don has spent five years in Thailand running the Asian drug trade, and now he wants Europe too. The European cartel bosses meet to discuss killing him, since he has been undercutting their prices. Collecting a cocaine shipment at a remote settlement, he is cornered by his own associates, who have struck a deal with the Europeans. He fights his way out and returns to Malaysia, where he surrenders to Interpol officer Roma and Detective Malik and is sentenced to death. In prison he meets his old rival Vardhaan, who agrees to join him when Don offers a way out. Together they plan to steal the plates used to print currency from a Berlin bank, with hacker Sameer and the hit man Jabar.
