[edit] Plot

After returning home from South Korea to great acclaim, three members of the U.S. National Karate Team (Tommy Lee, Alex Grady, and Travis Brickley) set up their own martial arts studio in Las Vegas. When Travis turns up dead after taking part in a brutal underground fighting competition, it is up to the two remaining team members to investigate the murder and exact revenge upon those responsible, including the ringleader Brakus. Alex has to withstand an attack on his family. They are assisted by an old rival from the Korean team.
