Spoilers ahead
At age twelve, Michael Shaw is a prodigy in karate, already earning a brown belt and showing a natural flair for speed and precision. On a ride home with his parents after a training session, their car is halted at gunpoint by two armed carjackers. In the chaos, one of the men fatally shoots Michael’s parents before the others drive away and vanish into the night. Hidden in the back seat, Michael witnesses the brutal moment and spots a distinctive tattoo on the neck of the killer, a clue that will haunt him years later. When the carjackers eventually depart, Michael slips away as well, shaken but alive, carrying that memory and the tattoo as a cold spark of revenge he does not yet understand.
