REAR COVER
Lisa Edelstein (House) stars as Maxine "Max" Carter, the best connected courier working in the Pacific Rim. She is constantly on the move, always traveling and likes to keep it that way ever since she watched her young daughter die in a terrible accident.
Her current delivery is 14-year-old Alice Cantwell (Brenda Song from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody), the spoiled daughter of one of China's richest businessmen. After a bitter, twisted custody battle Alice is headed to Hawaii to live with her mother. But, almost as soon as they land on U.S. soil, Max senses things are not right. She soon figures out that Alice's father is in trouble with the Chinese government, and his daughter may not be the only thing he is trying to smuggle into America. With danger around every corner, it's up to Max to deliver Alice safely to her new home...
DETAILED PLOT
Jang Eun-ha is a former North Korean defector-turned-special delivery clerk in Busan who leaves for Seoul to pick up a former baseball player Kim Doo-sik, who is involved in an illegal gambling trade. At the pick-up point, Eun-ha meets Doo-sik's son Kim Seo-won where she along with Seo-won gets chased by Kyeong-pil, a corrupt police officer and also the mastermind behind the gambling trade. Kyeong-pil is after Seo-won as he wants to retrieve a security key to the bank account containing US$30 million, which is in Seo-won's possession. Doo-sik gets killed in the chase while trying to protect Seo-won, where Kyeong-pil frames Eun-ha for Kim Doo-sik's death and Seo-won's abduction. Kyeong-pil's men try to abduct Seo-won, but Eun-ha manages to subdue them after an intense chase.
Meanwhile, Eun-ha travels to Busan and narrates about the incidents to her boss, who later decides to create fake passports for sending Seo-won abroad. While creating passports, Eun-ha's boss gets killed by Kyeong-pil during a fight and Eun-ha attacks Kyeong-pil and his men. Kyeong-pil holds Seo-won at gunpoint where he throws him in the sea and tries to shoot Eun-ha, but Eun-ha stabs Kyeong-pil and drowns with him in the sea. Seo-won is saved, but Eun-ha fakes her death and escapes from the police. Days later, Seo-won gets admitted in an orphanage and school, where he lives his life happily. After school, Seo-won finally meets Eun-ha and they drive to Seo-won's orphanage, but Eun-ha receives a message about a client and tells Seo-won that they should head to a pick-up point, indicating that she still works as a special delivery clerk.
