She convinces her boss, detective Mac Hoggins, to take her home with her for the night and to her Chinese adoptive parents Tommy and Mamma Li, what she doesn't know is that Kim holds a danger to Cynthia and her family. She is the daughter of sun Quan (Simon Yam). Feared leader of the Chinese Triad. The man Kim saw murder her mother and the man she is running away from. Upon his arrival in L.A. Sun Quan finds out from Hoggins that kim is with Cynthia. Hoggins sis not who he appears to be. He helps Sun Qquan smuggle heroin into the country using the Chinese immigrants on the ships as mules. The next day while Ben is at work, his family is brutally murdered at the Li's restaurant by Sun Quan and his men. Only Kim and Nicholas, who were in the other room, manage to escape and run away.
