โฆ Synopsis
Frank Meyer had got out of ' the life' safely. He had put an end to his
mercenary days, turned over a new leaf and settled down with his wife
and children. It had been a hard decision but, encouraged by his boss
and friend Joe Pike, he had walked away. Ten years later, a group of
armed men break into his Los Angeles home and brutally gun down him and
his family. It's a vicious, cold and professional job. The crew leave no
trace behind except the bodies. But they have made one catastrophic,
and almost certainly terminal, mistake - Joe Pike. Because Pike is now
determined to hunt down and eliminate everyone involved in the attack,
one by one. And it doesn't matter that, as he starts to investigate, he
discovers that these criminals are bigger and better organised than he
ever could have imagined, because they are about to learn the first
rule... Don't make Joe Pike mad...
