Death Wish II

After surviving the brutal attack on his family and seeking vigilante justice in New York, the protagonist relocates to Los Angeles with his daughter in the hope of starting anew. Embracing a more peaceful life, he engages in a relationship with a radio reporter and continues his career as an architect. However, his haven is shattered when a group of thugs breaks into his home. They steal his belongings, and his daughter, still severely traumatized from the previous attack, is assailed once again. The incident leads to further tragedy, snapping the last threads of the man's restraint.

In the wake of the harrowing events at his home, the protagonist is failed by the legal system that seems indifferent to his loss. The authorities, preoccupied with the bureaucratic and procedural aspects of law enforcement, show no urgency in pursuing the perpetrators. Fuelled by grief and a profound sense of injustice, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Roaming the streets of Los Angeles by night, he begins a relentless quest for vengeance, hunting down the criminals who destroyed his life. His actions attract the attention of the Los Angeles Police Department, specifically a detective who had previously dealt with him in New York, and who now sees patterns in the recent surge of vigilante-style executions around the city.
