Haunted by traumatic experiences and driven by a consuming anger, he hides a dark secret as a vigilante, seeking justice against those who violate the vulnerable - children, animals, and women, especially. Jessie becomes entangled in this web of darkness as their relationship deepens, uncovering Lucas Smith's chilling double life.
