Frank has been many things: father,husband, protector, thief. Then a prison term took it all away. Now his daughter only calls to say that she hates him. And he can't blame her.
But when a man shows up with a cheap Chinese pistol and the locket his daughter once wore, Frank has to decide how far he will go prove his love—and save her life.
