Summary:

Coffy is a nurse turned avenger, becoming a one-woman anti-drug vigilante who roots out the dealers who "turned on" her 11-year old sister. This violent, sexy drama is a variation on urban vigilante films, where family members fight crime more effectively than the cops, and in much more provacative ways.
