Based on an original story by John Hughes, a trio of anxious high school freshmen is targeted by the school bully, Filkins, on the first day of school. Before they become completely engulfed in Filkins' reign of terror, they seek out protection by placing an ad for a personal bodyguard. Enter Drillbit Taylor, not the best but definitely the cheapest of the mercenaries, hit men and bodyguards. Drillbit is steely, dangerous and skilled in covert black-ops and exotic martial arts.
