The film opens with a gang of African American criminals composed of leader Anthony Fait (DMX) and his lackeys Daria (Creator/GabrielleUnion), Tommy (Creator/AnthonyAnderson) and Miles (Drag-On) performing a diamond heist, with particular emphasis on some black diamonds that their employer, Christophe (Paolo Seganti), is after. Alas, Taiwanese Intelligence Agent Su (Li), who is after the diamonds himself for unknown reasons, busts them. Despite this, Anthony manages to escape with the diamonds and bring them to a fence, Archie (Creator/TomArnold), for them to be appraised. That night, Christophe is murdered by henchmen of the man he was working for, Yao Ling (Creator/MarkDacascos). Ling also sends some henchmen after Anthony, in search of the diamonds. Anthony and Su meet each other and are able to repel these henchmen, but then Anthony learns that Ling has [[IHaveYourWife kidnapped his daughter, Vanessa, and won't release her until he gets the diamonds]]. They then find that gangsters under the command of jailed crime boss "Jump" Chambers (Creator/ChiMcBride) came to Archie, who possessed them, and took them. Anthony and Su decide to team up to get the diamonds and Vanessa back, in addition to uncovering why Ling and Chambers want the diamonds in the first place.

* AdultFear: When Fait doesn't hand over the stones when asked, Yao Ling resorts to kidnapping his daughter to force him to. Naturally Fait is scared witless when he learns of this. Even worse, at one point the villains get the stones before Su and he do, losing their bargaining chip and their lead where to find her.

* ActionDad: Both Fait and Su. Fait is a pretty good fighter despite lacking Su's martial arts training. Su mentions having a sixteen-year-old daughter of his own.
* AssholeVictim: Yao Ling is no saint himself but two of the people he kills won't be eliciting any sympathy from the audience.
** Chambers a ruthless crime boss who coldly refuses Fait's pleas to help him get his daughter back.
** Odion, who runs Chambers's night club and is a rival of Fait's. When he catches Fait trying to get the diamonds back, he calls the cops on him and mockingly tells him "enjoy the prison sex" as he is led away.
