Holmes is a hitman who has nailed one victim after another. Having iced a large number of them, he is sent by his boss Martelli to infiltrate a section of the black quarter of the inner city. To do this, he becomes Reverend Lee, a Baptist preacher who comes to the local church to preach. Finding that other thugs are there, he decides to take the entire section for himself.
