Present day: a local inner city rec center is the home of a group of rambunctious youngsters ranging from the ages of 9-15, as they run around creating havoc for their current martial arts teacher. As the martial arts instructor has had enough he quits and leaves the children running around as they were, never looking back. Enter Jimmy “the Lightning Bolt” Lee, a former MMA World Champion pushed around by the currents of life, who reluctantly takes these out of control children, and becomes the new martial arts teacher. The story follows these children as they go through their own share of troubles dealing with poverty, bullying and growing up with a single or no parents -- and how a group of unlikely misfits can come together as a team and take on their greatest challenge, the undefeated Beverly Hills Scorpions Team.
