Plot
Two cops - Sean (Chad McQueen) and his partner Billie (Cynthia Rothrock) are at front line in city's never ending war with crime. Apart from the routine small-time robberies with which they're dealling at daily basis, this time they must face very dangerous and powerful man called Dalton Rhodes (David Carradine), who's not only a smuggler of guns and stolen luxury cars, but also a master of martial arts. Police is finding one after another body of mafia related people (all killed with bare hands). Sean and Billie have only vague clues in this case and no idea who's actually behind those murders. An aid in solving the riddle is to come from Sean's younger and troubled brother Michael, who's found himself working for the mob boss Rhodes, soon he'll learn that an easy way to get rich is also an extremely dangerous and sometimes lethal way for earning money.
