Premise

Three Midwestern brothers, a crime lord, and an incorruptible cop are on a deadly collision course when the youngest brother’s fiancée is kidnapped by human traffickers. To save her, the MacGregor boys call on their military training — and the strength of family — to fight the most important battle of their lives: after human traffickers kidnap his brother's fiancée, a war veteran (Cole Hauser) teams up with his brothers (Shawn Ashmore and Ashton Holmes) to rescue her. Their search leads them to a cop investigating trafficking rings, Avery (Bruce Willis), who soon joins their cause to bring down the organization for good.
