Idealistic Frank Jennings (Jeff Speakman) is working for the campaign of charismatic Aidan Carvell (William Shatner), who is running for the U.S. Senate in California. When Jennings discovers his candidate is actually part of a radical paramilitary organization bent on armed insurrection, he talks to the FBI, which promises to protect him and his family. Carvell, angered at the betrayal, orders his militia members to eliminate his former aide, who turns out to be an expert martial artist.
