Plot

Police detective Vicki Stewart goes undercover as a prostitute for a drug operation. Her police sidekick and husband searches for drugs along with her. But then the drug operation goes sour, the thugs begin shooting at the police and vehicles begin exploding into flames. A drug dealer named Salvador, member of a ruthless gang named the Colombian Cowboys, gets away, although he forgets his drugs which are worth around $5 million.

Due to Salvador getting away, the bombings and the shootings, Captain Jackson takes Vicki off the case.

Meanwhile, Salvador gets orders from his boss, The Mooch, to get back the drugs within one week or he (Salvador) will die.

Over the course of time, numerous people are bumped off (in other words: killed) in the city as Salvador and his gang friends go looking for the drugs.

Vicki goes to the city park; she then returns home and finds her husband cheating on her with a brunette woman. She then takes her husband's car from the garage, pours some gasoline on it and then sets the car on fire.

Vicki is also teaching martial arts classes to other women in street self defense.

Later, a serious police-thug gunfight erupts; several police officers are killed, including Vicki's new partner and boyfriend. Salvador drives away in a stolen police car. Vicki follows him. They drive until both cars hit the trailer of a semi truck and turn over.

Both Vicki and Salvador exit the overturned police cars. Vicki shoots Salvador dead in the street.
