Liam Case (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a garbage collector and a hero. Several years before, he rescued a little girl from a flaming car wreck. He did this at great risk to his own life earning a hideous scar for his effort. But fame often comes and goes in the proverbial "fifteen minutes" leaving his past deeds now mostly forgotten. Lost and alone, Liam has turned to alcohol for solace. When Liam finds himself in the middle of an armed bank robbery, he takes a bullet trying to protect a beautiful bank teller. Waking in the hospital, he vows to put things right by seeking vengeance against the thieves that left him for dead. Unfortunately for him, Detective Terry Subcott (Ray Liotta) is viewing him as the prime suspect in several brutal vigilante killings and closing in fast. In a twisty plot structured in non-linear fashion, Liam races against the clock to enact his own form of private justice, battling a gang of vicious criminals dominated by Derek (Tommy Flanagan) and the Brothers McGraw (Kim Coates and Steven Kozlowski), all while dodging the authorities hot on his trail. Norman Reedus also stars as Swain, Liam's conflicted former friend and co-worker, while Ben Cross portrays Cosmo Jackson, a battle-scarred Vietnam veteran and Liam's own father figure. Jean Smart takes a turn here as the grief-stricken mother of a wounded bank teller who holds Liam in high regard for his heroic acts. Relative newcomers Gary Cairns II and Sammi Hanratty play Gill and Marley, respectively. Gill is a somewhat reluctant criminal, and Marley the little girl Liam pulled from the fire.
