Storyline

Marlin is the biggest loser you will ever meet. Inspired in prison by the vigilante justice of 1970's cult action film star Billy Jack, Marlin decides to reform his life after being placed on parole. With literally nothing going for him, Marlin must face all odds: dealing with a cheating girlfriend, an ill-tempered boss he is forced to work for by the courts, and an uncontrollable desire to overcome the pathetic obstacles in his life. Marlin becomes a caged rage-a-holic, and the only thing keeping him in line is the cool moves, wit, and thirst for social justice preached by Billy Jack. With the world laughing in his face, Marlin finally transforms into a modern day Billy Jack, able to face and leave his burdens behind.
