In 1993, Lana Lin, daughter of the General of the Southeast Military Region, returns to her hometown to visit the grave of her mother, a decorated martyr and Meritorious Intelligence Officer. She discovers the grave has been destroyed by the son of local tyrant Warren King. Lana's father, the General, descends with his special forces team to bring the tyrant to justice. Lana stays behind to investigate covertly, uncovering a foreign intelligence station in an abandoned mine and defeating her mother's killer, Takeshi Miyamoto, and his protector. For her outstanding performance, Lana is transferred to The Blade Division, a special operations unit, to investigate the 'Genesis Project,' a genetic weapon program by the Helios organization. During a mission in Hong Kong, Lana is betrayed by her father's trusted aide-de-camp, Li Wei. After her team suffers a devastating loss, Lana eliminates the traitor on a yacht in international waters, retrieves the data, and prepares for a new mission to Africa.
