![]() Tagline: Few escape justice. None escape vengeance.
When a homicide detective's daughter is killed in his home, he assumes he was the target. But he soon learns that his daughter was the target and he searches for why this happened. This search leads him to a shadowy government operative, who has been sent in to clean up the evidence.
Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, twenty-four year old Emma (Bojana Novakovic), is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter's secret life and her killing.
His investigation leads him into a dangerous looking-glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder - and to shadowy government operative Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone), who has been sent in to clean up the evidence. Craven's solitary search for answers about his daughter's death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.
