Vincent Lubeck, a violent thug just released from prison, is poised to make his mark on the city.

His family attempts to place him on the straight and narrow, but instead Vincent betrays their live and uses them as pawns in his diabolical scheme.

Driven mad with his addiction to bloodshed, Lubeck forces his allies into a spectacular confrontation with the law, a collision that only one side can survive.
