This action-packed story of bravery, dedication and physical prowess tests the limits and goals of a once mysterious self-defense art form.

On his quest, Leroy falls in love with a beautiful singer and video disc jockey, Laura Charles (Vanity). Together they confront a power-hungry record producer bent on revenge against the young singer, as well as a bloodthirsty egomaniac determined to fight and permanently defeat Leroy. This romantic story centers on the life and death struggle between the love of power and the power of love. Leroy must ascend to the final level, but can he protect Laura’s life at the same time?
