But when his mentor and close friend Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed - he wants those responsible dead.

But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.
