Lengfeng works for the People’s Liberation Army. During a raid on a drug smuggling operation, he defies orders from his superiors and kills Wu Ji who is the leader of the smuggling operation.

As punishment for defying orders he is in danger of being expelled from the PLA, but is unexpectedly approached by Long Xiaoyun (龙小云 Lóng xiǎo yún).

She is the commander of the Wolf Warriors, a special branch of the PLA, and invites Lengfeng to join them.

The older brother of Wu Ji is the ruthless drug lord Min Deng (敏登 mǐn dēng).

He hires ex-US Navy SEAL ‘Tom Cat’ (老猫 lǎo māo) and his group to assassinate Leng Feng in revenge for killing his brother.

During a Wolf Warrior training exercise Tom Cat and his group ambush them and kill one of Lengfen’s comrades. The Wolf Warriors swear to defend the death of their comrade. A life-for-life, blood-stained war begins…
