Premise
Mechanic Chris North is given the opportunity to score a lot of money by simply serving as a driver for an L.A. criminal known as Diego Garcia. At the last minute however, he backs out of the deal. Trouble is, nobody told him that NOBODY walks away from Diego Garcia.

Garcia sends his goons to make an example of North. They find him at an amusement park with his wife, Riley and daughter, Carly, who is celebrating her birthday. The thugs open fire, killing Chris and Carly. Riley is injured, and awakens in a hospital shortly thereafter. Despite going through the legal system, she fails at bringing justice to her family, so Riley embarks upon a journey of rage-driven retribution that involves guns, torture, and explosions. In short, don't mess with this bitch!
