Yuichi Kimura, "The Father",
boards a bullet train in Tokyo in search of the attacker of his son Wataru.
Meanwhile, guided by his handler Maria Beetle, operative "Ladybug" is
assigned to retrieve a briefcase full of cash from the same train,
replacing a sick colleague, Carver. Ladybug is reluctant, as his recent
string of bad luck during his jobs resulted in accidental deaths. Also on
the train are two British assassin brothers codenamed "Lemon" and
"Tangerine", who just rescued a man ("The Son") from kidnappers and are
taking him and the briefcase to his father, a Russian-born Yakuza crime
lord called "The White Death".
During the trip, The Son is killed by poisoning. Ladybug discreetly steals
the briefcase, but on his way off the train, is attacked by another
assassin, codenamed "The Wolf", who recognizes Ladybug from his wedding,
where his wife was killed. The Wolf mistakenly believes Ladybug to be one
of her killers. Ladybug confusedly fights The Wolf, who accidentally kills
himself with a deflected knife throw. Yuichi finds the person who pushed
Wataru, a young woman codenamed "The Prince", but she outsmarts him. She
lured Yuichi to the train as part of a plan to have him kill his boss: the
White Death. To ensure his cooperation, she has a henchman holding Wataru
hostage in the hospital.
Recognizing Lemon from a job in Johannesburg gone wrong, Ladybug offers to
return the case in exchange for being allowed to leave. Lemon suspects
that Ladybug killed The Son, leading to a fight. Lemon is knocked
unconscious during the fight and Ladybug spikes his water with sleeping
powder. Tangerine wakes Lemon up and they both split off to find Ladybug
and frame him for the Son's murder. The Prince finds the briefcase,
booby-traps it with explosives, and rigs Yuichi's gun to explode if fired.
Ladybug encounters Tangerine, and after avoiding the White Death's men,
kicks Tangerine off the train as the train departs, who manages to climb
back aboard from outside.
Suspicious of the two, Lemon shoots Yuichi and is about to shoot the
Prince, but collapses after drinking from his water, which Ladybug had
previously spiked with sleeping powder. The Prince shoots Lemon and
conceals him and Yuichi in a bathroom. Ladybug encounters another
assassin, codenamed "The Hornet", who poisoned both the Wolf's wedding
party and the Son with boomslang snake venom. After a struggle, both are
exposed to the venom, but Ladybug takes Hornet’s antivenom before she can:
killing her. Tangerine runs into the Prince and notices one of Lemon's
train stickers on her, realizing that she shot Lemon. Ladybug interrupts
them, and Tangerine is killed before he can shoot the Prince. At the next
stop, Yuichi's father, "The Elder", boards the train. He recognizes the
Prince's voice and informs her that Wataru is safe as her henchman has
been killed.
