Capone (Paul Campbell), a loose cannon cop, returns back to his home in Kingston to join the island nation's special forces. Immediately upon return, Capone discovers an operation consisting of illegal importation of guns via church charities. It's up to Capone to stop the importation of these guns; and this might mean going up against one of his childhood friends.
