Synopsis
 Federal Agent, Jack Stone, must travel to his hometown, a sleepy little place called Tazewell, Tennessee, to bring a criminal back to justice in Los Angeles. However, once there, he discovers a much bigger threat. One that seeks to hurt his friends, his family, his favorite hometown. It's a threat at the doorstep of every small town across the nation. Though, unlike all the other crime scenes, this particular target is dear to Jack Stone.

This is where he grew up; this is where his friends started businesses, where his parents live.

It's a place where people do what they can, scrape by to live the American Dream. Its a place that should still be that ideal town, that vision of normalcy. Instead, it's being poisoned by the same plague sweeping through every other little, economy battered town. It's still being chocked to death by drugs, manufactured and sold by a strong arm crew. It might be stupid to think that the problem will just go away overnight, but to Jack Stone, if he can save the place where his family lives...That might just be enough. Enough for him to sleep at night.
