When an L.A. cop gets called to a crime scene on his anniversary, he is forced into a shootout that leaves both a criminal and his hostage dead. Soon after, with a troubled yet clear conscience, the officer and his family go on a camping weekend. After they stop at a gas station and end up in the middle of a robbery, fate and a twisted web of revenge have other, more violent plans for them. When the score is finally settled, will anyone be left standing?
