The Purifiers, Les Redresseurs, est un groupe d'experts en arts martiaux ayant la solide réputation d'assurer la paix dans la ville. Déçu des initiatives inadéquates du gouvernement et de sa piètre surveillance policière, Moses, le chef d'un gang rival, tente d'intégrer des résidents dans une association très puissante pouvant contrôler les crimes et le trafic de stupéfiants. Puisque ces agissements vont à l'encontre des valeurs représentées par Les Purifiers, ils se retrouvent seuls dans leur camp. Le succès de la nouvelle alliance repose alors sur un seul critère : éliminer Les Purifiers. Malgré de minces chances de réussite, Les Purifiers s'engagent dans une violente et explosive guerre contre les gangs de rues, mais cette fois, l'enjeu est mortel.
