For centuries a treaty has existed between the human world and the realm of the demons.

A peace treaty between the Earth and the Black World, a parallel universe of demons, is coming to an end. Two cops, Taki, a human male, and Maki, a female demon, are assigned to protect a diplomat who will help secure another treaty. A radical group of demons from the Black World are out to assassinate the diplomat and prevent the treaty; only the bond that forms between the two cops can save the Earth from destruction.

There is enough back story to have made this into a cool quasi MIB supernatural series. Instead what we got was a movie with a perverted little Yoda style sensi that was enjoyable enough to watch. The problem was it all came and went too fast and it felt rushed and unfortunately in a way that leaves you wanting to explore that odd little universe more.
