Plot

When Nick Hume's (Kevin Bacon) son (Stuart Lafferty) is killed by a group of gang-bangers, his life is torn apart. His one salvation is that the killer was caught at the crime scene, but when the justice department offers 3 to 5 years in prison as retribution, he knows there must be something better, something that will allow his family to move on. Surprising himself, he retracts his testimony as the lone witness, essentially killing the case, and begins to look for another means of justice. It comes to him in the form of violence, which simultaneously gives him the relief he's looking for and puts his family on a path towards death, as the rest of the gang comes looking for revenge. Kevin Norwood Bacon[1] (born July 8, 1958) is an American film and theater actor who has starred in Footloose, Animal House, Stir of Echoes, Wild Things, JFK, and Apollo 13, among many others. ...
