Synopsis

An Insane Itallian Ninja (Vafan Cuolo) takes-over Brighton with an army of thugs and begins to implement his own brand of martial law: anyone having a good time or expressing themselves in any way other than with violence, is forced out of town or killed.

A young man (Ryu), haunted by a troubled past, intrigued by the local newsreader/reporter Bella, and feeling shaken-up after a series of confusing and violent dreams and flashbacks, decides to try and enlist the help of the 'Crazy Old Man who Lives in a Tree', who points him in the direction of the fabled 'Ganja Master', a spiritual guru, shrouded in mystery, who lives in a secret location outside Brighton.

Our hero Ryu must then train with the Ganja Master in the ancient art of Ganja Boxing, before entering in to an all-or-nothing final confrontation with Vafan where everything is on-the-line.
