A white supremacist kills a policeman on his first day after being released from jail, jeopardising the task he has been given by an imprisoned gang leader. He and his girlfriend try to avoid being recaptured by taking a family hostage, and are drawn into a battle of wills with the father, who is also an ex-convict. Crime drama, starring Joe Anderson and Danny Glover.

The story centers on paroled white supremacist who has just killed a cop, and takes a black family hostage. Within hours of being released from 14 years of solitary confinement in maximum-security Pelican Bay State Prison, Garrett Tully is on the run again. When he finds a house off a dirt road and takes a family hostage, he thinks the Aryan Brotherhood has his back–and his kidnap victims are black. The family’s patriarch, Mr. Walker, is a jaded ex-con who hates cops so much he disavowed his own son for becoming one. Seeing a familiar desperation in Tully, Walker refuses to call the authorities for help, causing familial tensions to escalate, and soon grave missteps are made.
