A elderly Vietnam veteran becomes an unexpected internet sensation when a cell phone video of him defending a friend from attackers on a bus goes viral. Embraced by the public as a folk hero, he decides to use his newfound notoriety to seek justice after his best friend is murdered. Taking matters into his own hands, he prowls the streets, using his combat skills to clean up the neighborhood and uncover a conspiracy that the police seem unwilling or unable to solve.
