PlotRay Quick, a former explosives expert for the CIA, has settled into a reclusive life in Miami, working covertly as a freelance bomber-for-hire. Ray's life takes a complicated turn when he is approached by the enigmatic May Munro. Driven by a desire for revenge, she implores Ray to eliminate the powerful Miami crime family responsible for her parents' brutal murder years ago. Her plea stirs dormant feelings in Ray, and he reluctantly agrees to take on the morally gray mission.
As Ray meticulously plans his explosive vendettas, he must navigate a treacherous landscape filled with dangerous adversaries, including his manipulative former colleague, Ned Trent. Trent, now working as a security enforcer for the crime family, has a personal vendetta against Ray and is equally cunning. Ray and May's alliance grows increasingly complicated as they draw closer to their targets, entangling them in a web of betrayal, emotion, and high-stakes warfare. The tension escalates as Ray’s precision in bomb-making clashes with Trent’s relentless pursuit, propelling the mission toward a gripping confrontation.
