Pop Darrell - a tough ex-cop living in New York City with a terminal heart problem. He and his wife had a pact that when one died the other would follow but a beautiful and terrified Chinese woman pounding on his apartment door interrupts his suicide attempt and he soon finds himself unraveling a mystery while tracking and being tracked by sadistic killers and fleeing the police himself.
His detective nephew is worried that his uncle is too old and too out-of-touch with modern detection methods, and that his stubbornness could get him killed. But Pop Darrell is determined to solve the case and deal with the killers in his own, old-fashioned way – regardless of danger.
But as Pop Darrell works his last case, he begins to suspect the girl is not telling the entire truth. And then the dreams begin - strange dreams of ancient Chinese warriors on a battlefield beckoning him to join them. And the once serene world of Pop Darrell will change forever.
