French is running a martial arts gym, training promising new fighters -- but it hasn't exactly been paying the bills. To make ends meet, he begins working for the notorious (but elusive) Tommy, servicing various criminal outfits throughout Southern California. Working by a number scale, with #10 being a threat and a #1 being a full-on trip to the hospital, French and his partner Sue are in charge of chasing down any kind of criminal or low-life who owes money to the organization.
