Synopsis: Set in two timelines, Bulletproof Monk begins in 1943 in the Temple of Sublime Truth high in the Himalayas, where a master monk prepares to pass on an ancient scroll containing immense power to his young protégé. This scroll must be safeguarded for sixty years, according to prophecy, requiring the new steward to relinquish everything, including his own name.
In the present day, the Year of the Ram again, the scroll is due for transfer, but the monk is far from his home and without a disciple. With an old enemy from history closing in, he encounters a young pickpocket named Kar, who lacks discipline but possesses remarkable talent. The monk must determine if this unlikely candidate can be entrusted with the secrets of the scroll and rise to the challenge of destiny before time runs out.
