Action and attitude meets humour and humility when Mel Gibson stars as John Link--an ex-con trying--none too enthusiastically--to embrace life on the straight and narrow. Eking out a meagre existence as a tattoo artist in his trailer park home, he battles with his past and his future. When his estranged daughter, Lydia is caught up in a drug deal gone wrong, she finds herself reaching out to the last man she ever thought she'd need--her father. Only he can protect her from those who want her dead, and only he will--no matter what it may cost him.
