"We've got you now love."

Ex-marine Mallory Kane (Gina Carano) is now a private contractor, leased out to the government for those tricky assignments that the CIA cannot get involved with. Unfortunately her boss (Ewan McGregor) is in too deep and tries to get rid of the evidence, i.e. her.
A sort of cut price female version of the Bourne franchise, without the camera trickery, or the memory loss.

"I got nothing left... but white noise."
An unresolved trama comes to the fore when an estranged father (Lance Henriksen) and son (Sean Elliot) are left fighting for their lives whilst on a hunting trip.
A horror come psycho-drama, which slowly draws you into it's story.
