On his birthday, NATO agent Jacques Kristoff, played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, is called into action to pursue Galina Konstantin, portrayed by Laura Harring. She has made off with a highly valuable and perilous top-secret container belonging to the Slovakian Government. Jacques quickly locates Galina, and his task is to escort her and the stolen item back to his authorities via train. Initially, the operation appears to be proceeding without a hitch as Jacques and Galina board the train under the guise of a couple, but chaos soon erupts.
