After accepting a gun plant to kill a prisoner, the weapon is used to start a prison riot and Joanna is forced to work for the government to bring the killer back to justice. Gun Honey is the alias of the strong and sassy female protagonist, an arm's dealer who can import guns wherever they are needed, even in the most heavily guarded places. In another scene, a villain overpowers a prison guard but his exit route appears to be blocked… what should he do?

Assigned to her case is Agent Borrow, following her along on this mission, making sure that she fulfills the most minor requirements of her contract but what follows leads them to risky encounters where no life is safe. Gun Honey is burning hot schlock in the best possible way, with an ultra cool heroine in the driver’s seat who kicks all the ass and takes all the names. Joanna Tan is able to smuggle a gun into the most secure of places so that it can be used for an assassination. It doesn't need to be explained everytime, there's a charm to that mystery but I'd love to see a scene where we get to see the full walkthrough and her thought process.

S. and as soon as she arrives home she is met by a government agent that knows all about her and her infamous reputation for being able to get you the weapon you need, where you need it, and when you need it. For example: the cops catch a notorious criminal but tell her "We won't put you in prison because you'll just escape anyway" (yeah, that's not how the law works) and then they make her do their job by catching a notorious bad guy instead of actually having police officers catch him (again, not at all how the law actually works).
