The film is set during the 2000 U.S. presidential election cycle and focuses on assassin Golgo 13, who is hired by a Democratic Party campaign manager to stop a female drug lord from assassinating the Democratic presidential nominee. Golgo, however, finds the job too easy and seeks to discover the true connection.
