Michael Warren returns to Pine Creek after a decade in covert service, expecting a quiet family visit. Instead, he finds his loved ones threatened by the Briggs family and a town held hostage by a corrupt police-crime alliance. When he steps in, Chief Hale answers with an illegal arrest and interrogation, while Hale and Stone underestimate him as nothing more than a worn-out vet. But his eagle badge sets federal backup in motion, and as the FBI surrounds the station, their abuse turns into payback. They learn too late that they went after the wrong man— and the wrong general.
