Description
When his addict son gets in deep with his dealer, Raymond Mathis decides to take matters into his own hands. Denny Rattler supports his adrenaline-chasing habit through careful theft, following strict rules that keep him out of jail. Until he makes two choices that change everything. When a DEA agent gets a single lead about the drugs, he'll need help from the most unexpected quarter to solve the case. As chance brings together these men from different sides of a relentless epidemic, each may come to find that his opportunity for redemption lies with the others.
