The Purifiers is set in an anonymous city of<br />
the near future where gang identity is<br />
forged through a fusion of music and karate<br />
clubs. Tired of hopeless government<br />
initiatives and bad policing, younger, more<br />
focused activists respond by creating their<br />
own social infrastructure. An attempt is<br />
made to unite all of the respective gangs as<br />
one all-powerful confederation. The story is<br />
told through the eyes of John, the fading<br />
warrior who faces his toughest moral and<br />
physical test as he turns his back on the<br />
plan and leads his gang straight into an<br />
explosive unknown terrain where the odds<br />
are stacked against them.<br />
