Jake Brogan, retired U. S. Army Special Forces, is hunting his ex son-in-law, the murderer of Jake's daughter and granddaughter. When he finds him, he intends to render his own justice. However, while at his cabin in the mountains of West Virginia getting his head together and formulating a plan to track down his foe, Jake comes across a young woman and her daughter who are caught in circumstances strikingly similar to those that killed his beloved Chrissy. The young woman, Tammy, has been threatened by her ex-husband, a vicious drug dealer, who is determined to kill both her, and her daugher, Alexis, who happens to have the same name as Jake's granddaughter. Does Jake continue his hunt for his daughter's killer, or does he abandon his search to provide protection for the little family, the only help they're likely to get?
