[1] The Keller family are the owners of a successful garment business based in Los Angeles, California.

The story mainly revolves around Jacob Keller's (John Saxon) youngest son Joseph (Freddy Rodriguez).

They accomplish this by going on a business trip with Joseph, only to have him kidnapped and taken to a sweat shop run by sadist Frank Childress (Brion James).

After trying to escape from the sweat shop, Joseph is beaten up by Frank's right-hand man Thompsonn (Martin Kove) and put in a small prison-like cell.

After leaving the asylum, Joseph gets a job at a bank and manages to get a very prestigious position in a short matter of time.
