Emma's death (Bojana Novakovic) is a serious blow for Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson). Everyone thought that Thomas was the real target because of the police, Thomas clearly had many enemies. But when Thomas investigating the death of his only daughter, the detective began to realize that so far there's not much he knew about her daughter.

Thomas believed that her daughter's death was a 24-year-old is nothing to do with the work of Thomas as a cop.
