It tells the story of how an old man who was unreasonably involved in a terrorist attack case used his own power to avenge and expose the terrorist conspiracy.

At the beginning of the film, the plot is straightforward. Guan Yuming (an old Chinese man) was waiting for his daughter to go to the clothing store to buy clothes. A terrorist bomb exploded. Guan Yuming's daughter was inside and died. This is the only relative by his side, so when all this happened, he went back to the restaurant, the camera was shown to his daughter's room, the background music slowly played, and the pain of bereavement spread, instantly bringing the audience into the in the drama.

The old man, bent on revenge, stumbles upon an interview on TV with Hennessy, the deputy minister of Northern Ireland, a typical political opportunist. The old man keenly observed that Hennessy was inextricably linked with the bombing, so eager to know the list of terrorists, he found Hennessy and asked him to hand over the list of personnel, but it backfired, and Hennessy said he didn't know it. , the old man successfully created an explosion in Hennessy's office toilet to threaten him, and installed a bomb on Hennessy's car to intimidate. , he drove to his farm, the old man cleverly followed them to the farm.

On the other hand, Hennessy contacted the United Kingdom and begged the United Kingdom to release the Irish suspects in order to quell the domestic public anger, and at the same time asked the country to strictly investigate the traces of terrorists.

Hennessy's wife had been holding a grudge for not avenging his brother's murder, so she leaked the plan ahead of time. terrorist organizations,

When the terrorist attack happened again the next day, no one reported the code, so the plan could only be in vain. At the same time, Guan Yuming was still "harassing" Hennessy near the farm, asking him to hand over the list. Hennessy realized that there must be an inner ghost around him. At this time, the British police detected through surveillance that McGrath, who had worked with Hennessy at the time, appeared in the gathering place of terrorists they monitored. All the blame pointed at McGrath, Hannes Nice approached McGrath to ask him to hand over the list, and at this time the conversation between the two also revealed the true face of Hennessy, who still controls domestic terrorist groups and uses them to carry out terrorist attacks to put pressure on Britain to consolidate his voter support in the country,

The last bomb attack he originally wanted to make a political threat, did not expect that the casualties were so large that the situation was beyond his control, and the master behind all this was McGraw, who was dissatisfied with Hennessy's compromise with Britain, He wanted to re-sever Hennessy's relationship with the UK by carrying out the bombing attack and entered the road of resistance. Hennessy, who learned of all this, got the list of terrorists from McGrath and killed him and gave it to the old man, and the old man got After the list, he sneaked into the rooms of five terrorists as a plumber. The last fight scene of the movie was also at this time. The old man knocked down the five terrorists with his weak body, and then came. The British police arrested them, the old man made public Hennessy's ugly behavior,

The final scene of the film is when the old man returns to his restaurant and hugs his confidant. At that moment, all the pain and grief dissipated, and he felt relieved.
