Meet Bryan Wattson, criminal kingpin. He thought he had it all. That is, until he is convinced by his business partner to take part in a drug deal. One that has been orchestrated by his partner as an act of betrayal. During the deal, he is shot and left for dead by his partner. Following his arrest, he is given a 30-year sentence. All he wants is revenge on his old partner.
