Special Agent Jack Randall of the FBI finds himself appointed to track down and stop a vigilante shooter. Not by his superiors but by the killer himself.

When a prominent lawyer is shot while waiting at a suburban stop sign it sets off a nation-wide manhunt for an elusive killer.

As more bodies fall the shooter takes his message to the press, earning the support of the public with his choice of targets and confounding the FBI at every turn. From the desert of Nevada to the urban jungle of New York City, Jack and his team follow the trail of bodies and haunting messages left behind by the killer. With the pressure to find him mounting on Jack, the assassin's crimes grow bolder, and his message more sinister and closer to home.

It becomes clear to Jack that in order to find the shooter he may have to look inside his own past, and become the man he was years ago.
