Jane, a female martial arts instructor, is asked by her detective buddy, Det. Mike Wilkerson, to take MARY, a mysterious new girl in town, under her wing after Mary is hospitalized for an unsuccessful suicide attempt. Mary complies, solely to get released from the hospital, and is initially resistant to Jane's training. However, when Jane rescues Mary from an attempted sexual assault by beating the snot out of her four drunken attackers, Mary begins to accept that Jane is the real deal, both as a martial artist and as a friend.
