The film opens with Kate in Osaka, poised for a significant assassination mission targeting a high-ranking yakuza officer. As she sets her sights on the target, she notes the complexities that lie ahead.

During the mission, Kate is confronted with a moral dilemma when her target arrives with a child. Although against her better judgment, she follows Varrick’s orders and kills her target, leading to lasting emotional turmoil over her actions.

Determined to move on from her life as an assassin, Kate decides to undertake one last assignment before retiring. This decision is tinged with hope for a fresh start, even as the shadows of her past loom large.

Before her last mission, Kate meets Stephen at a hotel bar. Their evening of wine and connection is interrupted by the looming reality of her deadly vocation, creating a moment of brief respite in Kate's chaotic life.

Kate's hopes for a normal life come crashing down when she realizes that Stephen has poisoned her with Polonium-204. Waking up in a hospital, she learns she has only twenty-four hours to exact her revenge.

Fueled by rage and betrayal, Kate steals drugs and a firearm to hunt down those who conspired against her. The clock is ticking as she embarks on a relentless path to vengeance against her enemies.

Kate tracks down Stephen and discovers that he was coerced into poisoning her by Sato, a member of the Kijima crime family. This revelation intensifies her fury and determination to confront those responsible.

In a high-stakes encounter, Kate confronts Sato at a luxurious restaurant. The situation escalates rapidly into a deadly shootout as she takes down Sato and several armed yakuza members, showcasing her lethal prowess.

To draw out Kijima, Kate kidnaps Ani, his biracial niece, who witnessed her father's murder. Although she initially plans to use Ani as bait, her protective instincts kick in as she realizes Ani's life is also in jeopardy.

As Kate delves deeper into the yakuza underworld, she discovers a catastrophic deal between Varrick and Renji that threatens everyone involved. This shocking information forces her to reevaluate her loyalty to Varrick.

In a surprising twist, Kijima extends an offer of armed assistance to aid Kate in her quest for revenge against Renji. This alliance sets the stage for a brutal confrontation, as both parties prepare for an inevitable showdown.

The confrontation culminates in a violent gunfight between Kijima’s forces and Renji's men. The chaos escalates further when Kijima exacts his vengeance by beheading Renji, delivering poetic justice amidst the carnage.

In a tense climax, Kate confronts Varrick, who holds Ani at gunpoint. Their exchange of gunfire ends in tragedy as Varrick is mortally wounded, forcing Kate to face the complex emotional ties of their past.

With Ani by her side, Kate ascends to the rooftop, symbolically reconciling with her tumultuous past. As she faces her fate amidst the chaos, there’s a sense of bittersweet acceptance as she lets go of her burdens.
