Ex-Special Forces soldier Louis Stevens returns to Miami to find 
his former high school overrun by drugs and violence. 
A master of the Brazilian martial art, capoeira, Stevens pledges 
to straighten out a dozen of the school's worst students by 
teaching them this demanding and highly-disciplined fighting style. 
Slowly, his program begins to work, giving the students new hope 
and purpose. 
But the local drug lord, himself a martial arts expert, vows to 
stop Stevens' positive influence. 
Now Stevens must fight to save his own life, as well as the lives 
of his rebellious young students
