In this fast-paced, gritty thriller, Jeff Szeto (Tez Frost) is in the midst of temptation for corruption. The sharp office worker takes money to illegally cancel large power bills for factories, until his clever scams are put at risk when financial investigator Kaiser (Andrzej Gwizdalski) uncovers his lucrative scheme. To eliminate his criminal records, Kaiser forces him to investigate his corrupt manager, Hugo Keswick (Serge Bonhomme).
Jeff enters the dark world of drug scams to subvert Hugo and his partner-in-crime Detective Andrew Healy (Ian Rogers). Arriving early at drug houses earmarked for a police raid, they corner dealers into declaring only a portion of the drugs and money seized in exchange for a lighter sentence, and take the rest for themselves. While Jeff monitors the illicit activities of his new partners and starts raking in more cash than ever, Hugo decides to use Jeff as a scapegoat to distract the authorities that have been breathing down his neck for some time.
During one of their raids, Jeff uncovers a mysterious Pink Teddy, which he disregards until an out-of-control drug lord, Joe (Joseph Chau), later appears and demands its immediate return. Hugo attempts to send it back, only to discover it has gone to the wrong person. The rightful owner, Sammy the Terrorist (Keith Mifsud), intrigues Hugo by offering him a road to riches through money laundering, but only if the Pink Teddy is returned. Running against time, Hugo retrieves the toy in the most vicious way, leaving a trail of mayhem and murder behind him.
When Hugo meets Sammy with the Pink Teddy and money for their deal, he learns the valuable secret to the Pink Teddy. As the two men are finalising their deal, Joe unexpectedly reappears, armed and threatening to kill Hugo for framing him with Andrew�s murder. Jeff arrives to calm the situation, but only manages to make things worse when he accidentally shoots Joe.
All hell breaks loose when Sammy calls for his bodyguards, leaving Hugo with no choice but to grab the Pink Teddy and bolt for his life. To survive alone in a room with a drug lord, a terrorist, and a case of money, Jeff must become what he tried not to be--the worst criminal.
When Hugo finally discovers that the dark secret of the Pink Teddy is not what he expected, he also realises it is too late, because this is no Pink Teddy�s picnic.

Competing Mexican drug cartels are destroying each other. Mexican drug lord, Carlos Eldoran (Ron Joseph, "Navy Seals", "Scarface", "Born in East L. A.") ruthlessly executes an informer, then bribes the government's new anti-drug czar, General Figueroa (Hector Mercado, "Delta Force 2"), to conspire with him with the military to establish a drug traffic monopoly by building a secure operation deep in the remote jungles of Costa Azul.
Unknowingly, the General is about to invade the quiet and peaceful enclave of the Native American Esselen Indian Tribe who are hiding deep in the Mexican jungle and meet an opposing force he could never imagine ... the supernatural son of a divine force with magical powers: Dreadmon (Vincent Klyn, "Cyborg", "Point Break"), who, separated from his biological parents at birth and having discovered that he has been adopted by the Chief of the Tribe, has set off on a quest to find the secrets of his true identity. Dreadmon must use his magical powers only for good or lose his powers and feed the strength of the evil witch Mootin, the supernatural daughter of the divine force, if he misuses his powers.
As General Figueroa's soldiers clear the jungle to build their drug manufacturing and distribution center, they invade the tranquil existence of the Esselen. Dreadmon, witnesses the execution of his adoptive father in cold blood and, contrary to the "way" he has been taught, reacts in anger and unleashes a lethal charge of electricity and fire driving off the soldiers but drawing to him the evil Mootin who is re-ignited with the desire to seek him out and destroy him.
Dreadmon leaves the exotic jungle behind and enters the concrete jungle of Puerto Vallarta to seek help from the local "policia". The local police captain is a cartel puppet who tells Eldoran that Dreadmon is seeking help to defeat the slave raiders who have killed his father. And when Dreadmon is arrested after using his supernatural powers in a bar fight, the cartel's hit man (Matt Gallini, "End of Days," "Crimson Tide") bails him out and takes him to meet Eldoran, who cons Dreadmon into using his powers to destroy competing drug cartels.
To see through Eldoran's deception and become the Warrior he must become to save his adopted homeland, Dreadmon must undergo an agonizing inner battle, which calls forth his own inner spirit in the form of the Midnight Sun (international rap star "Yukmouth of the Luniz"). Only when Dreadmon surrenders to the truth does he gain the strength he needs to defeat the treacherous Eldoran drug cartel and face the dreaded Mootin in spectacular climactic combat.
