Summary

The film follows Nick, a blue-collar ex-con who lives in a small town in the Alabama countryside. When an insidious figure from his past, Sloan shows up and kills his wife, it sends Nick's world into a tailspin. Hell-bent on revenge, Nick chases down Sloan and his gang, all the while having to deal with his father-in-law, the town sheriff Frank, who is forced to wrestle with his own morality in the midst of his daughter's murder. When Nick and Frank's paths finally cross after Nick has exacted his revenge, Frank is forced to make a final choice of whether to compromise his ethical standpoint and let Nick go, or continue to abide by the rules of the law he's bound to.
