12 Rounds 2: Reloaded

Nick Malloy is an Emergency Medical Technician who finds himself pulled into a deadly game of wits that echoes a case from his past. A shadowy vigilante sets a tight schedule and a string of brutal tasks, designed to push him beyond ordinary limits. With his wife Sarah's life on the line, Nick must figure out why he has been chosen and what the aggressor intends to reveal about the paramedic's history. Each challenge tests his nerve, catches him off guard, and forces hard moral choices under the pressure of a countdown. The clock ticks relentlessly as the EMT fights not just for his own survival but to protect the ones he loves from a game built to break him.
