Plot
Long-time parole agent Emily Smith, newly arrived in Luma County, New Mexico, is assigned new parolee William Garnett, a career criminal just out of prison. Long-time county sheriff Bill Agati is unhappy about having the felon back on the streets, particularly because Garnett killed a deputy of his almost two decades previous. Garnett struggles to readjust to being outside, and just wants to lead a simple life now. He has to deal with harassment from Agati and avoid his former criminal associate, Terence Saldano, who is still trafficking illegal aliens and relentless to see Garnett return to his old ways. Garnett’s earlier conversion to Islam and meeting Teresa Flores, a reserved bank employee whom he develops a relationship with, helps him resist falling back into the bad life, and agent Smith tries to help him along. But Saldano shows up at Flores’ home one late afternoon, and intimidates his way in to persuade her to influence Garnett, and when she tells him to leave, he violently assaults her. Garnett comes home that evening to discover this and he then tracks down Saldano to exact revenge.
