He lives alone in middle age, suffering from depression as a border-line alcoholic with no family and few close friends. His isolation stems from a recurrent nightmare as a young Army Ranger and pilot when his best friend was killed through Jake’s bravado. As a deplorable hermit, Jake’s life reverses when a young woman emerges claiming to be the daughter of his dead buddy. She transforms him and renews the joy of living after decades as a derelict.

Death and destruction follow as he chases the girl, only to find that she was manipulated by a maniacal killer.
