A gritty 1990s action-thriller about a retired cop's violent crusade against a Jamaican drug lord who targets his family, driven by rage and paranoia rather than reflection.

Just retired from the Drug Enforcement Agency, John Hatcher returns to his hometown and quickly discovers that drugs have infiltrated his old neighborhood. Determined to drive the dealers out, Hatcher crosses paths with a ferocious Jamaican drug lord who vows that Hatcher and his family are now marked for death.
