What it's about:
Paul Maguire is apparently a decent family man. A contractor by trade, he is a pillar of his community. His wife, Vanessa, and his daughter, Caitlin, adore him. But it wasn't always this way. Paul is actually a reformed criminal who still keeps in touch with his associates, especially Kane and Doherty.
One night, Paul and Vanessa go out to dinner with some friends, leaving Caitlin at home with her own friends. In the middle of dinner, Detective St. John shows up and tells them that something has happened to Caitlin. Caitlin's friends tell the police and Paul that they were watching TV with Caitlin, when several Russian men barged in and took her. They fought, but the Russians overpowered them.
Several years earlier, before Caitlin was born, Paul and his buddies robbed a Russian gangster and stole millions of dollars. Paul used the money to go legit, and he believed that they had gotten away with the robbery. Convinced that the kidnapping is a long-overdue retaliation for the crimes of his youth, Paul ignores the police and mounts his own rampage, against the wishes of his old crime boss.
A conflicted, flawed hero, with baggage he may never live down, can never truly outlive the sins of his past.
