Retired soldier Chris Vaughn returns to his hometown only to discover his wealthy high school rival, Jay, has closed the once-prosperous lumber mill and turned the town's resources towards his own criminal gains. Enlisting the help of his old pal Ray, Chris gets elected sheriff and vows to shut down Jay’s operations. His actions endanger his family and threaten his own life, but Chris refuses to back down until his hometown, now overrun with crime, drugs, and violence, feels like home again.
