Avengement

On a brief prison furlough, Cain Burgess slips past the guards and heads back to the streets that once ruled his life. What begins as a simple return soon escalates into a calculated strike against the people who helped turn him into a killer. He refuses to fade into the background, reasserting himself among former allies and enemies, and rediscovering a code that may be more to blame than the law. As the plan unfolds, the gap between justice and vengeance narrows and each decision pulls him deeper into a violent circle he once helped to start. The town's shadowed underworld becomes a pressure cooker where loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of revenge collide. Tests his restraint whenever debts surface.
