Every day we ask the question. How far are you willing to go? What will it take to get the job done? For most of us this is a simple answer. But, what about you? You’re an ordinary man thrown into extraordinary circumstances.
ROD LESHAN, an agent of the secret service is on special assignment for the White House at the behest of the President. Agent Leshan is getting closer than he knows to a secret when an attempt is made on his life. He decides that he needs to see his son one last time, just in case he doesn’t see tomorrow.
DANIEL SHANDON has recently graduated from college. He is now working at a privately owned hotel and casino. As the manager of the night club at the hotel he has proven himself to be quite adept at making money for the owners who are willing to do whatever it takes to protect Daniel.
At the airport, Rod finds a moment to call his son Daniel. Daniel is at the Club after a big night. The crowd is roaring below. ANTHONY MANDOLO has come to congratulate Daniel on his success. SAMANTHA SHILLING, Daniels girlfriend hands over a phone, “Your Father wants to speak with you.”
Rod and Daniel chat for a few moments, instead of hanging up with a smile, Daniel has a concerned looked. Samantha tries to find out what happened, but Daniel isn’t sure.
Daniel leaves Samantha at the hotel to run things while heading for a ski trip with this father.
While he’s away, the deputy director of the FBI, SHELLY KATZ pays Samantha a visit. After being escorted away from the office by MARCO, the head of security, Shelly decides to set up a surveillance unit in the hotel to keep an eye out for Daniel and Rod.
Samantha calls her father, KURT, who works for the FBI in Washington D.C. in the Bank Robbery division. He immediately hops on a plane and heads west.
SEXTON, the head of another Intelligence Agency, the ORION SECTOR is after Rod and tracks him through Daniel. He sends his right hand man, PRATT to deal with Rod. Pratt and his team find the two on the ski slopes taking out Rod. Daniel escapes, but not before taking out one of the pursuit choppers. He skis over toward Rod just in time to see Pratt murder his father Rod. Pratt and his team scoop up Rod and the bloody snow and fly away. Daniel could only watch as the helicopter vanishes out of sight. Sexton, rather upset about the ineptitude of his team, orders Pratt to hunt Daniel down. He’s a loose end.
Daniel knows that for someone to attack him in the open suggests that these men feel they are untouchable. Going through the regular law enforcement channels will be of no use. It’s up to Daniel to find out what his father was into before it kills him. Not knowing who to trust, he calls Marco and enlists his help.
Daniel discovers a letter from his father in his pocket. Rod left Daniel a coded letter leading him to a condo by the sea. Daniel finds that the condo is under surveillance and has to sneak in undetected. Once inside the condo, Daniel finds all of the notes from his father’s investigation. Daniel decides that the only way to get his life back is to finish what his father started.
As Daniel exits, the surveillance team spots him. They persue him. With guns blazing, Daniel and Marco face off against the two man team of KEN and WILLIS. The docks to the rear of the condo light up the sky after Daniel cuts some of the fuel lines to the rich people’s toys tied up.
Leading Ken and Willis into a high speed pursuit, Daniel slip streams behind a big rig and Marco takes a shot hitting the tire of Ken and Willis’ car. The car flips over coming to an abrupt stop.
Daniel and Marco head over to the two men. After coercing Ken to talk, he gives up Pratt and confirms the details of the operation to Daniel. Daniel finds that Sexton is a trusted member of the President’s intelligence community. A few pieces of paper won’t sway the President’s allegiance. Daniel has to find a way to get the truth out. His only solution is to get Sexton to confess.
In Rod’s notes, Daniel finds banking information as well as phone numbers to the White House. Samantha calls to tell Daniel that the FBI along with another unknown team is setting up camp at the hotel. Anthony is less than pleased. The Hotel is now becoming a convention center for the intelligence community, Daniel heads back with a plan to Honor his Father, but not before taking the money.
Daniel calls the White House and orders them to be ready to watch a live feed of Sexton. Before the President could argue his point, Daniel hangs up the phone. While going through the files, Daniel feels that the FBI doesn’t really know what’s going on. Kurt goes to speak with Shelly and lays his job on the line to find out what they know. Not much.
Daniel closes the club and invites the FBI, White House, and of course, Sexton and Pratt to attend the private function. Pratt takes a swing at Daniel, but Daniel was ready for it. Pratt ends up on his back. Security escorts him out so that Daniel and Sexton can talk.
On the screens around the club, Daniel pulls photos from his father’s files and gives a break down of Sexton activities. Sexton has no choice but to agree with Daniel. He tries to defend his position with a history lesson five hundred years in the making.
It was how the Indians were forced from the lands and how the very government that he works for betrayed his ancestors. This was his play to make it right.
Daniel couldn’t listen to any more. The White House is flabbergasted. The FBI is awe struck.
Meanwhile, Pratt escapes from holding and makes his way back to the club and sneaks in through a stage trap door. In another rally of gun fire, Pratt and Sexton break away to the casino. Everyone is after them.
Daniel and Marco chase the two outside where Pratt yanks a driver from his car, speeding away. Daniel and Marco are on foot firing at the car. Pratt crashes at the end of the street. He and Sexton jump out and run over to a tour helicopter.
Daniel runs up and grabs a skid of the helicopter as Pratt tries to take off. Pratt spins wildly and throws Daniel off the skid. Marco takes a few shots at the chopper, but it’s of no use. They get away.
Landing nearby is a news helicopter. Marco and Daniel sprint over and tell the pilot to the follow that chopper.
The chase leads into the remote mountains where Pratt loses control and crashes into a dried riverbed. Daniel and Marco land nearby. Daniel faces his father’s murderer and the man who ordered it. With the barrel of the gun at Pratt’s head, Daniel couldn’t simply fire the weapon. Pratt grabs at the gun, Daniel squeezes the trigger. The bullet rips through Pratt’s head, his body falling limp into the sand.
Sexton is trying to back away. He begs Daniel for his life. He’ll give him anything. Daniel asks for his father back. This, of course, is the one thing that Sexton cannot deliver. Daniel strips Sexton of his clothes and sends him walking. He suggests that his ancestors send him a vision to help guide his way out.
Once in the air, Daniel watches Sexton reach for the helicopter begging for help. Daniel orders the pilot back to town. The pilot isn’t sure what to do about leaving a man in the wilderness. Daniel calls the White House and tells the President where to find Sexton. He leaves the decision up to them.
In the end, Sexton is found in the wilderness. It was determined that he died of exposure. The president wants to reward Daniel, but Daniel declines. He allows Kurt to take credit. Daniel and Samantha fly off into the sunset together for Italy for some peace and quiet.
That changes quickly though. But that’s another story.
