In this thrill-packed actioner small-town diner owner Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) finds himself a local hero after he successfully takes down two thugs during an attempted robbery. But his sudden celebrity draws unwanted attention from the outside world including mobsters Carl Fogarty (Ed Harris) and Richie Cusack (William Hurt), who insist that Tom is intricately tied their past. Fogarty begins stalking Stall's wife (Maria Bello) and children, resulting in a bloody standoff in which Tom must protect his family from what is either a case of mistaken identity or a violent past that's finally caught up with him.
