A neighborhood is terrorized by group of young juvenile delinquents called The WolfPack. When a young father's infant child is seriously injured because of the WolfPack, he decides that the police aren't working fast enough to catch the ones who hurt his baby and sets out to infiltrate the gang himself and mete out the punishment they deserve.

Plot

The infant baby of Sam and Anne Bennett is critically hurt after being hit by a bottle thrown by a gang of juvenile delinquent hoodlums known as the Wolf Pack. Police Detective Tom Lynn takes charge of the investigation and orders a shakedown of youth gangs in Chicago's toughest section, but this fails to locate members of the Wolf Pack gang. A savage beating is given to an innocent witness by Bennett, who takes matters into his own hands in the belief that the law authorities are too slow.
