with his family. After receiving an invitation from new neighbors Clay and Elise Freeman (Edrick Browne and Ava Santana), they go out for a night on the town to a famous club. The evening soon takes a turn for the worse when the Kalinowski family gets into conflict with one of the club owners, Ethan Bordas (Ross Britz). In the middle of the conflict, Ethan accidentally falls on his own knife and dies while fighting with Bobby, who was defending his wife.
Seeking revenge, Ethan's father Seth (Jerry Katz), previously thought to be his brother, puts a $100,000 bounty
on Bobby's head. Also making matters difficult, Bobby is unable to receive help from the law, for Seth has Clay Freeman, and a corrupt police sergeant, working for him. Now Bobby must survive and escape Louisiana while being hunted by criminals, corrupt law, and many others in the city. To protect his family and neighbors, Bobby decides to separate himself from them and goes to his Navy Seal friend Big Ronnie or known as B.R. (Dave Batista) for help. B.R initially refuses, deciding to take the bounty, but later changes his mind and helps Bobby. Seth, however, targets Bobby’s family and kidnaps his daughter Brianna (Brooke Frost). Bobby ends up fighting and killing Seth and his henchmen with B.R.'s help, and rescues his daughter.
