Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A former gang member discovers that escaping the past isn't as easy as getting a new job and leaving the old neighborhood behind in this thriller starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Omari Hardwick, and Chris Browning. Michael Dixon (Gooding, Jr.) used to be a hardcore Los Angeles gang-banger, but these days he wears a badge rather than sporting colors. A respected U.S. border patrol officer in New Mexico, Dixon has somehow managed the rare feat of leaving the thug life behind and starting a family. But Dixon's psychotic former gang leader Drake (Hardwick) is none to happy at having lost one of his best men, and when a chance encounter leads him right to Dixon's door the stage is set for an explosive confrontation. Now, in order to protect his family, Dixon will be forced to put down his badge, and once again operate outside of the law. Walking Tall director Kevin Bray takes the helm for a revenge thriller also featuring Evan Ross and Sharon Leal.
