În San Francisco, un bucătar ca oricare altul este ales ca ultim asasin dintr-o lungă dinastie pentru a nu lăsa misticele puteri Wu pe mâini criminale.
Wu Assassins follows Kai Jin, a young Chinatown chef in present-day San Francisco, as he becomes entangled with the Chinese Triad’s pursuit of deadly ancient powers known as the „Wu Xing.”

After an encounter with a mystical spirit, Kai reluctantly becomes the Wu Assassin, using his enhanced martial arts skills to recover supernatural powers from five modern-day criminals threatening to use them to destroy the world.
