PlotPaul Kersey, a vigilante architect, finds himself drawn back into the dark world of crime-fighting when the daughter of his girlfriend dies from a drug overdose. Haunted by the tragedy, Kersey becomes determined to eradicate the drug trade in Los Angeles. He partners with a mysterious newspaper magnate named Nathan White, who supports Kersey’s mission by providing him with the names and locations of key figures in the drug cartels. With this new intel, Kersey embarks on a relentless campaign against two major rival drug gangs that are responsible for distributing the deadly narcotics.
As he delves deeper into the criminal underworld, Kersey employs an array of tactics and weapons to dismantle the operations of both gangs. Fueled by a desire for justice and revenge, he takes on heavily armed dealers, uncovers hidden drug labs, and confronts influential kingpins. Each step brings him closer to dismantling the narcotics network but also increases the risk to his life and those around him. The further Kersey goes, the more he realizes that the battle against drugs is far more complex and dangerous than he initially imagined.
