When the botched break-in of career criminal Ricky Barnes (Andy Serkis) results in the murder of a beautiful young wife, her grief-stricken husband (Jonny Lee Miller) is so distraught that he dedicates his life to avenging her death. He'll stop at nothing to take out the sadistic man who killed the love of his life -- which includes getting himself arrested so that he can confront his target in prison.
