Now Jake's taking it personally.

The only clues Jake has to unravel the mystery are a Russian with a stolen, silver briefcase and three names: Snell, Parley and Ares. Teaming up with his best friend Bear, the Sheriff of his home town, and an attractive FBI agent, Jake quickly discovers they're not the only ones looking for the briefcase and its deadly contents.

It's no longer about seeking revenge.
