It's 1974 and thirty-four-year-old Jimmy Blaze doesn't care that he failed a rigorous forty-day entrance exam to get into an elite paranormal unit of the CIA. That was years ago. He has forgotten all about the CIA. Now he is boxing's Welterweight Champion of the World. But the CIA has not forgotten Jimmy Blaze. In fact, the CIA has maintained a very strong interest in Jimmy-since they implanted two specialized chips in his brain while they had control of him. One chip allows thoughts to be suggested to him as if they were his own. The other chip allows him to master any language after hearing it spoken. The CIA has plans for Jimmy Blaze someday. And so does a billionaire Russian dissident who has his own aspirations in the little-known world of paranormal crime. He figures, with Jimmy Blaze, he will have the ultimate time-traveling, remote-control spook. When Intel tells the CIA that their boy is being headhunted by evil baddies, they devise a plan to catch them in the act. All they need to launch their covert operation is to get Sable, Jimmy's wife, out of the way-a feat more challenging than they anticipated.

In Chinese productions, he acted in more than twenty TV series and movies with Sun Li, Sun Hong Lei, Fan Bingbing, Chen Kun, Joan Chen, and other famous Chinese actors.As a writer, Steve's screenplay, Old Drunk Boxer, was one of the top three winners in the Scriptwriters Network High Concept Screenplay Competition, which is a worldwide contest based in Los Angeles, California. Old Drunk Boxer was also a finalist in the Hollywood Screenplay Competition, as well as a quarter-finalist in the Fresh Voices Screenplay Competition. In China, Steve was contracted to rewrite the translations of all English-speaking characters' dialogue in the 2012 big-budget film, Qian Xuesen.In the 2015 film, Lady of the Dynasty, Steve was cast in a major role as the main English-speaking character, Tacitus, opposite superstars Fan Bingbing and Leon Lai. He was also asked to rewrite all the narrations and dialogue of Tacitus. The director's decision to use an English-speaking character as the narrator for a Chinese film was an unusual choice, and Steve was thrilled to have such a huge responsibility in a big-budget movie.In 2021, Steve was contracted by Zhang Yimou, the most prolific, famous director in China, to consult on and offer English rewrites for the film, Sniper.
