In Jasper, Missouri, the Double Deuce might be the roughest bar around, where fights break out every night, drugs are dealt under tables and the staff skim off the top. But there’s a new sheriff in town: professional cooler and martial artist James Dalton has just been recruited as head of security and begins to class up the joint by roundhouse kicking ruffians and firing bartenders with sticky fingers. Soon the Double Deuce is turned around into the hottest club in Jasper – but Dalton’s exploits provoke the ire of Brad Wesley, the local crime-lord who maintains a vice-like grip on the town.
