Warning: Spoilers
The film centers on Lucas (Elijah Rodriguez ) a runner for the MS 13 gang in Washington DC. Cops don't know who they are because they disguise themselves with massive MS 13 tattoos on their face. Daniel (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is a PTSD marine who was also injured in the war. He is mute and has lost a lot of steps, especially the high split. Daniel gets pain killers from Lucas because he can not get enough from the VA.

The cops are onto MS 13 and Daniel is given the task to deliver two bricks, something that goes wrong and the next thing you know, Daniel gets involved.

All of MS13 is no match for a normal healthy Jean-Claude Van Damme who would typically fight them all one at a time while the rest stand around in a circle. In this movie they went a bit overboard on his disability, taking some of the Damme fun out of the film.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
