A gritty, action-driven vigilante revenge tale set in a gang-controlled urban landscape, driven by shootouts and hand-to-hand combat rather than introspection.
The Rebels rule the streets of Gary, Indiana. They shoot storekeeper Marvin Bookman for giving the police information about a drive-by shooting they committed. Marvin’s son, former NFL star and Rebel founder John returns to be with his father and, with a little help from some friends, to destroy the gang his way.
