Synopsis/Details
A drug syndicate kills Anna-Mae Kockbern’s beloved goldfish, steals her truck, and takes over her home as their new headquarters (a 40,000 sq. ft. abandoned school building Anna-Mae bought for a dollar at auction).
But Anna-Mae doesn’t dig up her champion speed-shooting guns or dust off her Karate black belt until they take her estranged pacifist daughter and high-school friends hostage.
Anna-Mae realizes the only way to save the high-schoolers is with violence, but she still has to figure out how to earn her daughter's respect, or die trying.
