Synopsis:
Two men, Jack “Mercy” Mercer and Alan “Sandy” Sandra, are living two very separate lives. Mercy, a highly decorated police detective, lives in comfort with a nice house and loving family who support him. His ex-partner Sandy is mopping the floors of life having left the force and working security at a rinky-dink outfit, finding himself each night at the bottle of another bottle.
 
This has been their respective existence for nearly 10 years—that is until they each begin to receive strange, mysterious packages. The content of these deliveries quickly escalate in their intensity and it is learned that a chapter from Mercy and Sandy’s past is at play. Years before, Mercy saw an opportunity to score big cash, take out a few powerful gang members and get a dirty cop off the streets. That dirty cop was their partner, Chase Marrow, who was set up and sentenced to life in prison but now has broken out during a routine transport.
 
Back on the streets and with a thirst for revenge, Chase sets into action a devious plan to torment his two ex-partners and exact his revenge. Taking Mercy’s family captive and forcing the two men to go off the books to save them, Chase offers one condition: they must go to a cabin in the woods alone...OR ELSE…
 
Moving quickly to save them, Mercy and Sandy soon find themselves snared in the cleverest of Chase’s plots—and discover so with brutal results.
