Some people deserve to die. That's what John believes.
Wracked with the guilt of losing his family, John is desperate to find meaning in life - or the courage to put a bullet in his brain. After a lost, drunken night, he stumbles into a purpose that seems far from good, but the perfect chance to find redemption.
Mike and Jax, two hardened veterans, and John's childhood friends, will do anything to keep him alive and relish the chance to pick up a rifle again and do violence to those who deserve it.
Aleela, sold into a brothel by her uncle, will watch the world burn before she gives up hope, but every day that ticks by brings her closer to unspeakable things.
Can John make up for a wasted life? Can he save Aleela? Can she save him?
