When an inner-city Miami schoolteacher gets her knee broken after standing up to the school's gang leader, her mercenary combat specialist boyfriend goes undercover as a substitute teacher to take down the punk. Soon he discovers a conspiracy of criminals at work, and must reassemble his team from his last jungle raid to stop them.
A rugged mercenary trades jungle warfare for classroom chaos to dismantle a violent student gang. This relentless urban combat scenario transforms a school hallway into a tactical battlefield.
