Senorita Justice, one of the first features from the low-budget production house Breakaway Films.
Plot
Anna Rios (Yancy Mendia) is a young lawyer who negotiates property agreements in the city of Miami. Anna learns that her brother was murdered in a gang-related attack and learns that her father had emotionally broken down. Not capable of opposing the call of her home, she proceeds to the seedy streets where she was raised to look into the subject. She takes a sabbatical from work, and heads back to the pollo frito she once knew, sending her father on vacation so she can get down to business. It isn't long before Anna enlists the help of a transgender nymphomaniac childhood friend, named Vanessa (Mirtha Michelle), and rekindles an old flame, named Hector (Kalex), all in the name of avenging her murdered brother, who is kind of retarded.
During Anna's investigation she meets two female cops, Detectives Garcia (Edith González) and Martinez (Eva Longoria) who are investigating her brother's murder, but are renowned less for their detection skills. Both Garcia and Martinez become persuaded into believing that one of Anna's childhood friends, Hector, witnessed the slaying. He, however, became unwilling to cooperate.
Not satisfied with letting the police handle the investigation alone, Anna becomes Señorita Justice. She sheds her expensive city clothes for street clothes, embarks on a one-senorita mission of vengeance, crossing paths with scumbag after scumbag and beating the guacamole out of them. But Anna's search for the killers lead her to a sleazy gang leader named Mo (Michael Francis) who turns out to be under the thumb of a greedy local businessman, named Manny Sanchez (Tito Puente Jr.) who is determined to instigate a gang war to drive them out of the neighborhood for a real estate business. Anna eventually finds herself in over-her-head when she gets persuaded not only by Detective Garcia, but also Mo's gang members, and a mutant half-catfish Yakuza assassin hired by the real villains of the story which leads right back to her law firm where Anna works.
