Action / Thriller

Film Synopsis

John Link hoped that he had put his former wild life behind him.  His criminal exploits, his bouts of alcoholism, his escapades as a biker - all these belong to the past.  Now he lives the life of a recluse, alone in his caravan, far from temptation and the risk of the old demons returning.  Then, unexpectedly, a receives a call from his 17 year-old daughter Lydia, whom he hasn't seen for years.  Her sudden eruption into his placid life is enough to bring back all of the old habits.  She is apparently on the run from a gang of ruthless drugs traffickers after a robbery that went badly wrong and needs a place to hide.  The criminals who come knocking on Lydia's father's door have no idea what they are letting themselves in for.  John Link is not a man who is easily pushed around...
