After many years of absence, the Priest, who started a criminal activity, returned from Paris to New York to find those responsible for the murder of his old friend Eddie. At the airport, he is detained by the drug police, offering a choice between a term for old crimes and working undercover to destroy the new drug lord Hector, crushing the city under him. Priest rejects the offer and decides to sort it out on his own. In the meantime, Hector finds out about the arrival of Priest and his arrest and sends his people to kill the returnee. After the murder of a new girlfriend of Priest by killers waiting for him, he realizes that Hector cannot be defeated by legal means and, together with his friend Eddie Willie, a specialist in weapons and explosives, begins his war.
