Life has a funny way of throwing a wrench in the spokes. One day I was about to take my hot coworker out to lunch, and suddenly I was struck by lightning and transported to a different world. Crazy how that works. Once I got over my initial shock, I realized that this place was absolutely incredible. Furthermore, all of the adult men were killed in battle just over a year ago. Yes, I was the only guy in town. Destiny’s hero, right? Wrong. Turns out I wasn’t the hero they wanted and prayed for.

Stetson Jeff returns to the United States in pursuit of the mysterious A.S.P. The gang turns out to be more dangerous than even Stetson Jeff could imagine, so he flees Philadelphia and finds refuge among the Amish in Paradise, Pennsylvania. More kickboxing, bad guys and low-speed chases ensue (think forklift vs. horse and buggy).
