Spoilers ahead
After several inner-city youths die from overdoses of drugs cut with rat poison, police officer Jack ‘Soldier’ Kelly Lorenzo Lamas arms himself with weapons saved from his Marine days and storms a local drug house, killing four dealers in the process. His bold action triggers arrest, but a lawyer’s insanity plea saves him from prison, and he is sent to an asylum overseen by Dr. Pierce Michele Scarabelli.
Inside the asylum, Torchy Ron Palillo leads a cast of oddball residents, including a neurotic computer programmer and a sex-addicted former televangelist, whose presence complicates Soldier’s bid to escape. The unlikely crew both helps and hinders his plan, delivering tense, darkly comic moments as they navigate the ward and scheme to take down the cartel from inside.
