After completing his tour of duty, Chris Vaughn, a U.S. Army Special Forces operative, returns to his rural Northwest community, which is being ravaged by petty crime and widespread drug use. Upon learning that these depredations are byproducts of the outwardly glamorous casino run by his childhood buddy, Jay Hamilton, Chris ousts the corrupt sheriff and runs for office himself, declaring war on Hamilton and his minions after he wins the election. Chris totes a six-foot-long wooden beam, which helps equalize the multi-adversary confrontations he must face in order to clean up the town.
