Story

A young couple, a girl and guy are about to marry when they are murdered by some drug dealers. Stack, the father of the girl, is a tough former steel worker who is from the South Side of Chicago. Bradley, the father of the boy, is a successful businessman who has his own private jet. Due to the failure of the system to deal with the killers, who avoid justice, these two men from very different backgrounds have to take matters into their own hands.[4]
