Plot
Grizzled L.A. cop Roland Sallinger (Steven Seagal) is shot by his corrupt partner during a raid. After recovering, an old friend named Connor Wells (Steph DuVall) hires him to be a bodyguard for his daughter Nikita (Liezl Carstens).
Roland escorts Nikita to a night club so she can dance with her boyfriend Mason Silver (Arron Shiver), who is a boxer. Roland notices Jason Cross (Luce Raines), a dangerous man.
Later, Mason betrays Connor and leads Nikita into an ambush, with Roland secretly following. Roland kills some kidnappers, but the rest escape with Nikita.
Cross, who arranged the kidnapping, contacts Connor. Cross demands the deeds to Connor's property, which contains a rich uranium deposit. Connor agrees to exchange the deeds for Nikita at Cross Ranch, then informs Roland.
At Cross Ranch, Connor hands Cross the deeds, but they are fake. Roland kills Cross's men, and Connor shoots Cross. A SWAT team arrives and takes Cross away. Nikita is reunited with Connor.
