Plot[]

The film is set in a rural US state. Former Marine Kyle Snowden wakes up from a battlefield flashback nightmare. Snowden left the military after a frightening incident and works in Child Protective Services. He now lives with his young daughter, Angel, after his wife left them both.

A rogue group of mercenaries plans to attack Congressman Sam Nelson. The leader of the group, Eagan Raize, hates the Congressman. Eagan's father, Luther, was Nelson’s business partner and was sent to jail for eighteen years in a fraud case. Eagan believes that Nelson ruined his father’s life to take over the business. Sam Nelson is Kyle’s stepfather.

After an accidental shooting on the battlefield, Kyle Snowden's remorse was heavy and his sanity deteriorated. Following that incident, in which he unintentionally shot his partner, he was unable to pick up a gun again.

Eagan attacks Nelson's store by planting a bomb while Kyle, Angel, and many others are in the store, taking them hostage. Kyle is reluctantly required to take up arms again. Eagan had planned to destroy Nelson and set an example for the town, but he ends up stealing money from the store and taking Sunshine at gunpoint because he is infatuated with her. After the murder of Kyle’s companion, Clove from Child Protective Services, a Spanish boy, Manny, becomes Kyle’s responsibility. Overcoming his fear, Kyle raids the store and saves the day.

Manny is adopted by Kyle until further notice from the court. Shoplifter Mikki steals Nelson’s money that had been stolen by Eagan. She shares it with Sunshine and a store worker, hoping to live a better life with it. Nelson tries to convince the police that it was a planned robbery and not an act of terrorism, planned in order to claim insurance money. However, his efforts are futile, and he loses much of his wealth. Kyle and Nelson make peace at the end.
