A small-town attorney faces renewed danger when a vengeful former client, recently released after years in prison, begins targeting him and his family. As threats escalate and legal protections prove limited, the attorney must confront mistakes from the past while trying to keep his loved ones safe.

My take

You may enjoy this if you want a disturbing, suspenseful revenge thriller with a memorable villain and intense family danger; Not for you if you dislike graphic material, theatrical performances, or heightened style.
