An intense and groundbreaking crime thriller about a retired cop turned vigilante who will stop at nothing to hunt down the killer of his best friend's son. Jack Wilson is a retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lieutenant who is relishing retirement after 35 years of dealing with the stresses of police work as well as the recent death of his wife. He has a peaceful and content life until his best friend's son is murdered while inadvertently interrupting a home burglary. The police investigate the case but find no obvious leads, witnesses or physical evidence. The case subsequently stalls. Frustrated by the lack of any progress, Jack's best friend Tony, also a former detective and partner, vows to find his son's killer and take matters into his own hands. Jack convinces Tony to abandon the idea as he would be the obvious person the police would suspect in any vigilante type incident. Jack is compelled to start looking into the case and is immediately warned by the lead homicide investigator handling the murder investigation to stop or face criminal charges. Jack now has to decide if he is willing to forfeit the moral, ethical and legal principles he has followed his entire career and risk the likely consequences. The search leads him to a career criminal and his protégé who initially met while they were incarcerated in the county jail. However, they are now on a vicious drug fueled crime spree that is spiraling out of control. Working alone, Jack must not only try to outmaneuver the lead detective whose intuition tells her Jack is running a parallel investigation to hers, but also attempt to catch the killer. Through the use of unfamiliar and unconventional methods, Jack undertakes a relentless journey attempting to find and bring the killer to his own version of justice.
