Soon after being coronated as Crown Princess SOPHIA of Greece, she and her uncle, KING STAVROS make a trip to Los Angeles. However, they are ambushed by terrorists in the lobby of the Western Imperial Hotel. King Stavros is murdered and Sophia, a former Captain in the Cypriot Special Forces, is thrust into a battle for her own survival and that of the hundreds of guests terrorists have taken hostage. Acting as lone wolf, Sophia notifies authorities and mounts an offensive against the enemy.

Sophia soon learns the terrorists are members of Chervonny Dyyavol, a Ukrainian drug gang which has infiltrated Greece and Cyprus and with whom she has battled before. The group's leader RAVACHENKO demands Sophia surrender or the terrorists will kill all the hostages. Realizing the terrorists do not know of her military background, Sophia concocts a strategy to trick her adversaries into thinking a renegade is on the loose in an effort to buy time to save the hostages. Though her plan succeeds at first, the terrorists grow wise, which forces Sophia to admit her identity and offer herself in exchange for the hostages’ lives. 

Before all the hostages are released, the LAPD launches an unsuccessful SWAT raid. Ravachenko takes Sophia prisoner and tortures her. Sophia fights off her captors and eliminates the majority of the terrorists. Ravachenko, however, escapes. Sophia, with help of TORREZ, a captain in the LAPD Counter-Terror Unit, pursue Ravachenko. Sophia learns CHAN HU, leader of powerful Asian drug/crime syndicate is en route to Los Angeles and believes Hu is somehow connected to the murder of King Stavros. Sophia and Torrez shift their focus on Hu and plan to question him when his plane arrives.

Hu and Ravachenko discover the police are on to them and pull of elaborate an scheme to convince the authorities they are dead. Sophia, however, sniffs out the ruse and, with the help of the police, tracks the criminals to an airstrip in Chino, a nearby Los Angeles suburb. Sophia and the police face off with and defeat Hu’s private army of mercenaries, but are not able to prevent Hu and Ravachenko from fleeing on Hu’s private jet. Sophia interrogates a terrorist who survived the airport skirmish and learns Hu and Ravachenko plan to execute major drug deal inside Greece’s Thessaloniki Harbor.

A defiant Sophia vows to stop drug deal and drive the drug syndicate out of Greece. Despite the protests of Greek authorities, Sophia decides to lead an elite team of special forces soldiers into the Harbor to bust the deal.

Undeterred, Sophia and Andreas forge ahead with the mission, but are baffled by the presence of HARBOR PATROL OFFICERS on duty during the national mourning period Sophia delcared in wake of King Stavros's death. Sophia and Andreas's confusion last long enough for A SYNDICATE LOYALIST to shoot and injure Andreas.

Sophia and Andreas continue with their plan to eliminate the syndicate and detonate the organization’s cargo of drugs. Andreas becomes too weak to continue and Sophia must finish the mission alone. Ravachenko betrays, shoots and leaves Hu for dead. After planting the final detonator, Sophia reaches the Harbor office where Ravachenko hides out. Upon Sophia’s entry into the office, Ravachenko ambushes her, breaks her arm and cuts off her communications. Sophia uses her wits to overcome Ravachenko and escapes seconds before the harbor is engulfed in flames.

One year later, a now pregnant Sophia and Andreas are coronated as Greece’s Queen and Prince Consort. During the celebration, A DISGUISED MAN revealed to be Hu barrels through the CROWD OF SEPCTATORS and shoots his way towards the procession.
