Synopsis

Vengeance doesn’t wait for justice. When Jake Mercer’s wife is murdered protecting a child at her elementary school, his world shatters—and so does his faith in the system meant to protect them. Consumed by grief, Jake abandons his badge and launches his own relentless hunt for the masked killers who destroyed his life. As he tracks down the first suspect, Jake’s methods grow darker—testing the thin line between justice and vengeance, and drawing the suspicion of the very friends who once trusted him. But the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: this was no random act, and someone close may be pulling the strings. How far will Jake go to honor his wife’s courage—before he becomes the very monster he’s chasing?
