Kieran is a reformed criminal trying to establish a bond with his daughter Abby. After getting out of prison, he takes her on a fishing trip in hopes of getting an opportunity to make amends and reconnect. However, Abby is tenuous and distant with her father, even when Kieran tries to reach out to her emotionally.

But when Kieran discovers he can't leave his past behind, Abby is caught in the crosshairs of a larger scheme to pull Kieran back into his former life. Now Kieran must do anything he can to save his daughter, even if that means facing the terrible choices of his past.
