Tough-as-nails ex-con Chance Ryan (Brian Presley: Home of the Brave) vows to turn over a new leaf after serving five years in prison, but finds that he may have to sever a limb or two in order to cut his ties to the past. Deep in debt to a menacing gambler (Peter Weller: Robocop ) and firmly under the thumb of a corrupt, trigger-happy cop, Chance receives the motivation he needs to atone for his past sins after meeting his son for the very first time, and meeting a pretty local (Taraji P. Henson: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Karate Kid). Meanwhile, Chance's aunt serves as the voice of reason in a crazy world, and his convict father (Ed Harris: Appolo 13, A History of Violence) fights to maintain his fierce reputation from behind prison walls.
